WRI expert praises China's green leap forward in emission control

China has made an extraordinary step in dealing with climate change, said Fang Li, chief representative of World Resources Institute Beijing Representative Office.

One of the considerable progress is non-CO2 greenhouse gas emission control. WRI's research indicates that China may mitigate 1.5 to 3 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent cumulative emissions between 2020 and 2030. Tightening regulations over non-CO2 could benefit both public health and ozone layer protection.

Besides, WRI and China can conduct more cooperation in projects such as the China-proposed green Belt and Road Initiative and WRI's Traffic Light investment category research.
