The China Pavilion at the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Belem, Brazil, on Thursday hosted a themed side event that unveiled new reports detailing China's progress in energy transition. The event, part of the pavilion's "New Energy Day" program, introduced several key documents, including the China Energy Transition Outlook 2025 and the China Green Electricity Certificate Development Report. China's special envoy for climate change, Liu Zhenmin, said China has achieved one of the world's fastest declines in energy intensity over the past decade, driven by rapid advances in its energy transition. In his remarks, Francesco La Camera, director-general of the International Renewable Energy Agency, said he hopes China's experience in energy transition and new energy development can serve as a reference for many developing countries. The newly released China Energy Transition Outlook 2025 is the latest result of long-term cooperation between China, Denmark and other countries. The report outlines China's advances in energy transition since 2024 and underscores the importance of international cooperation and technological innovation. Denmark's climate ambassador Ole Thonke highlighted the strong results of international collaboration. China's National Energy Administration (NEA) released the China Green Electricity Certificate Development Report at the event. Green certificates refer to renewable electricity certificates issued by the agency, with each one representing 1,000 kilowatt-hours of green power generated from renewable sources.
