China faces challenges in meeting its climate goals due to a reliance on energy-intensive industries and shifts in how energy consumption is measured. The country's five-year plans, which include targets for reducing energy and carbon intensity, are at risk of not being met, requiring a significant emissions drop in 2025. Economic pressures and overcapacity in sectors like solar panels have further complicated these efforts. China may need to implement more aggressive strategies and reassess its economic priorities to achieve its long-term emissions targets.
