To follow a greenhouse gas emission pathway to reach the 1.5°C target agreed in the Paris Agreement, China would have to drastically reduce its emissions by 2040. Currently, the country emits around ** gigatons of CO2-equivalent per year, but to be in line with the 1.5°C target, emissions have to be reduced to under gigatons of CO2-equivalent by 2030.
