The announcement is hugely significantperhaps the biggest positive climate development globally since the 2015 Paris Agreement. However, achieving the carbon neutrality target will be immensely challenging. Energy Foundation China EF China is a non-profit charitable organization that has been working in China since 1999. We are committed to promoting prosperity, sustainable development, and climate security for China and the world. Three years ago, EF China launched our first and highest priority flagship initiativethe Long- Term Strategy for Decarbonization Task Force LTS. Over the past three years, we have steadily built capacity and strategically supported research to make the case for a new, low-carbon growth model toward sustainable prosperity and carbon neutrality. In June 2019, we finalized our LTS strategy, including overall goals to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 and climate neutrality by 2070. That same week, at the annual meeting of the China Council for International Cooperation on Environ- ment and Development in Hangzhou, we first presented this vision for China’s long-term climate targets to senior Chinese policymakers. For over a year, we have steadily engaged climate and energy experts, as well as those in economics and development, to make the case for the feasibility and opportunity of net zero. In support of our vision for a carbon neutral China, EF China has invested considerable efforts both domestically and internationally. Early on, our LTS Task Force initiated a joint research project with Institute of Climate Change and Sustainable Development ICCSD at Tsinghua University on China’s long-term low carbon development strategy and pathways, engaging 24 top think tanks in China. In parallel, to introduce international perspec- tives, EF China engaged the several international leading think tanks including International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, University of Maryland, Joint Research Centre European Commission, and other experts to advise on China’s Mid-Century Strategy, and cooperated with the International Energy Agency, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, 2050 Pathway Platform, and E3G in LTS modelling and technical discussions. Through these wide-ranging partnerships, EF China culti- vated a network of international and domestic modelers, powered the exchange of knowledge in the climate and energy research field, and created a multilateral open intellectual platform for cooperation. Meanwhile, to popularize the notion of carbon neutrality, EF China orga- nized international advisory roundtables and Economists Dialogues to showcase solid evidence for decarbonizing. Finally, EF China has been facilitating decarbonization pilot programs at sectoral and local levels to demonstrate and catalyze real changes on the ground. Today, we are excited to release our first synthesis report based on multi-model comparison research and other knowledge sourcesa major milestone for the LTS Task Force. The report features comprehensive views from prestigious research teams in China and abroad and helps fulfill EF China’s role as a strategic advisor, facili- tator and regrantor leveraging comprehensive insights to inform policymakers. The report sets out the broad outlines of decarboniza- tion, identifies key elements of strategy across the econ- omy and within individual economic sectors, and points toward continued research needs to support China’s success in meeting its 2060 pledge and long-term goals for growth and development. The publication of this synthesis report may contribute to build the narrative of 14 th Five-Year Plan, would not be possible without China’s growing willingness to lead and cooperate with the international community in global climate agenda in a confident and open manner, laying the foundation for multilateral solutions to global issues. China is poised today to accelerate its movement onto a new growth pathway toward a clean and vibrant economy that provides broadly shared benefits across China. EF China will continue to support research for an “all-win” pathway for deep decarbonization in China, facilitate the green and low-carbon transition of the Chinese economy, and help “tell the China New Growth Story.” 2020 has been a rollercoaster of a year. We hope this report is a gift at this moment. Our author team has spent innumerable hours writing this report around the clock and even through lockdowns. I would like to extend my deep gratitude and big congratulations to the amazing and world-class author team and appreciate all the efforts from everyone on the advisory roundtable, who spent valuable time among their super busy agenda. My special thanks go to my dream team in EF China, who are creating a miracle. Without your great efforts and help, we would not have been able to produce this gift.

INTRODUCTION China sits today at the confluence of a number of important changes – rapid technological, energy, and industrial revolutions, increasing Chinese international leadership, a growing and increasingly prosperous middle class, and slowing domestic economic growth. In the near term, these trends are intersecting with the global economic downturn as well as the health and social implications of the COVID-19 pandemic. Layered on all of these is the challenge of climate change and the need for the global community to address this urgent planetary crisis. Together, these changes present a set of challenges as China looks to both its immediate and its long-term future. It is possible to respond to these challenges in a way that navigates a new path toward growth in China, even as the economy moves toward carbon neutrality before 2060. This is the new growth pathway that will enable China to strengthen its economy, create new sources of employment, foster new innovation and industrial competitiveness, and in doing so, reach the goal of an “ecological civilization.” Even as China creates this new growth pathway for its own economy, it will create broader benefits for addressing global climate change. China’s role in climate mitigation is critical. China is currently the world’s largest greenhouse gas GHG emitter, second only to the United States in cumulative emissions. China’s contribution to global emissions reductions is abso
