The highest-level 15th five-year plan<\/a>, which covers \u201ceconomic and social development\u201d for the period 2026-2030, was published in March 2026.<\/p>\n The government has subsequently published a number of thematic five-year plans at the national level that are specifically focused on climate and energy.<\/p>\n These include plans on renewable energy, responding to climate change and development of its fossil-fuel industries.<\/p>\n Furthermore, the large majority of national-level plans that are not directly connected to climate change also include climate policies \u2013 albeit at different levels of detail.<\/p>\n Carbon Brief has combed through all of the 15th five-year plans issued by central-government ministries that are currently available in public for any mentions of topics related to climate change.<\/p>\n The findings, summarised in the interactive tracker below, show that 54 of the 72 plans published so far include climate policies or targets.<\/p>\n For each plan, the tracker lists the most important targets and primary goals, as well as other notable policies and a link to the full text, or a summary if the full text is unavailable.<\/p>\n Using the tracker <\/p>\n Five-year plans<\/a> are used to guide economic and social development across China.<\/p>\n The overarching plan is published<\/a> in March at the beginning of each five-year cycle. It outlines the most important high-level targets and policies across all issues.<\/p>\n After the top-level plan, a series of other five-year plans are then published over a period of months or even years, each focused on individual sectors or themes.<\/p>\n In total, Carbon Brief has tracked the 72 plans published to date which cover the 15th five-year plan period, ranging from topics such as the coal industry and electric vehicles through to accounting methods and tourism.<\/p>\n It still remains unknown exactly how many plans for this five-year period are yet to be published \u2013 and on what topics \u2013 although Carbon Brief understands that the key plans relating to climate and energy have now likely been released.<\/p>\n The current five-year plan period is viewed as being particularly important for climate action, as it covers the years building up to China\u2019s pledge<\/a> to peak its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions \u201cbefore 2030\u201d.<\/p>\n For each five-year plan, Carbon Brief\u2019s tracker summarises all of the climate and energy targets classified as \u201cprimary\u201d goals. (These goals are called \u4e3b\u8981\u76ee\u6807 in the policy documents.)<\/p>\n These include a combination of both numerical and non-numerical targets.<\/p>\n For example, in the overarching five-year plan, the numerical primary targets include cutting carbon intensity<\/a> \u2013\u00a0the emissions per unit of GDP\u00a0\u2013 by 17% across the five-year period.<\/p>\n The targets from the overarching five-year plan, as well as others announced before March 2026 \u2013 such as the commitment<\/a> to cut greenhouse gas emissions to 7-10% below peak levels by 2035 \u2013 are the basis for policymaking for the next five years.<\/p>\n However, the sectoral and thematic five-year plans provide more specific targets and detailed policy directions.<\/p>\n Non-numerical primary targets are listed on each card as other primary goals. For example, in the five-year plan for a \u201cnational meteorological development\u201d these include \u201csignificantly enhanc[ing]\u201d capabilities for monitoring, forecasting and warning of extreme weather, as well as making \u201cmajor progress\u201d in Earth system forecasting.<\/p>\n Primary goals are policies listed in the first section of the plans, either in the main body of the policy document as aims to be achieved for 2030, or in a table of numerical targets.<\/p>\n For each of the plans, the cards also list other notable policies related to climate change or the energy transition. For example, the policies below are all directives that are listed from the second section onwards of the five-year plan for coal. (For each heading on the cards, the full entry can be viewed by clicking the drop-down arrow.)<\/p>\n Unless otherwise specified, quantitative targets refer to 2030, relative to a 2025 baseline.<\/p>\n The five-year plans plans are sorted into four categories:<\/p>\n A full list of all of China\u2019s 15th five-year plans mentioning climate change or energy can be found below<\/a>.<\/p>\n The keyword search function and drop-down menu listing key topics can be used to search for plans that mention specific issues, such as coal, clean-energy technologies or climate diplomacy.<\/p>\n (See Carbon Brief\u2019s glossary<\/a> which decodes how China talks about energy and climate change. For example, terms such as \u201cnew energy vehicles<\/a>\u201d (NEVs), \u201ccarbon intensity<\/a>\u201d and \u201cBeautiful China<\/a>\u201d.)<\/p>\n See plans relating to: All topicsCarbon footprintsCarbon marketsCarbon sinksCCUSChemicalsClean energyCleantech industryClimate adaptationClimate diplomacyDistributed powerElectrificationEmissions dataEmissions reductionEnvironmental protectionEVsFossil fuelsGrid infrastructureHydrogenIndustry emissionsNon-CO2 greenhouse gases<\/p>\n Search: <\/p>\n 54 \u00a0matching plans<\/p>\n Show 54 plans The overarching plan Key climate and energy 15th five-year plans Other five-year climate policy documents Other five-year plans The overarching plan <\/p>\n The 15th five-year plan released at the \u201ctwo sessions<\/a>\u201d leadership meeting in Beijing in March 2026 signals the most important climate and energy targets China has set for 2030.<\/p>\n National and social development of the People\u2019s Republic of China 15th FYP Numerical primary targets Reduce carbon intensity by 17% Several thematic plans have also been published on topics relevant to China\u2019s energy transition. These plans list quantitative targets or policy directions related to climate change as important goals for 2030.<\/p>\n These documents are usually, though not always, published by government departments, such as the Ministry of Ecology and Environment<\/a> (MEE), National Development and Reform Commission<\/a> (NDRC) or National Energy Administration<\/a> (NEA).<\/p>\n New-type energy system 15th FYP Numerical primary targets Total energy production capacity to reach 5,800Mtce China has also published some policy documents covering 2026-2030 that are called five-year \u201caction\u201d or \u201cimplementation\u201d plans, rather than five-year plans.<\/p>\n National meteorological disaster prevention plan (2026-2030) Numerical primary targets Raise the national meteorological-disaster monitoring rate to 85% A number of five-year plans have been published that include \u201cgreen and low-carbon\u201d policies, even if the plan itself is on a topic not directly related to climate or energy topics.<\/p>\n These plans and policies are listed below.<\/p>\n Urban renewal 15th FYP \u201cAccelerate the green transition of urban construction\u201d![\"Almost](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/chart-0_v4.png\")
