But China, for a minute, according to the third clause of the contract, undertakes to do so until 2030 or earlier “to reach the maximum emissions, and after that, make all attempts to reduce them”. That is, the Middle Kingdom, perhaps, will reach 12 billion tons of CO2 ...

A more important question immediately arises: how exactly are they going to do this?

Both China and the states agreed to transfer 20% of energy to renewable resources by the same deadline. It is about 1000 gigawatts of atomic energy, wind, solar, and so on. Both countries are confident that investment in renewable energy sources will spur innovation and help develop the economy.

Both sides are also planning (excerpts from the release):
- Expand cooperation in the field of research and development of "clean energy".
- Create a large carbon storage in China, study and control carbon storage using industrial CO2.
- Create innovative "clean cities".
- Promote green products.
- Demonstrate the possibility of "clean energy around the world
