China's green energy expansion cuts emissions

China's shift to green energy is yielding results, with carbon emissions stabilizing or decreasing for over a year. The world's largest emitter, China, has significantly expanded its solar and wind power capacity, now building twice as much as all other countries combined. This has led to emissions reductions even as energy consumption has risen. This marks a departure from previous emission drops, which were tied to economic downturns. Climate scientists view China's transition as crucial for global climate change mitigation efforts.
