The IEA says China’s CO₂ emissions rose by 565 Mt in 2023 to 12.6 Gt, which it states was a 4.7% increase from 2022.
So any emission reduction done by developed countries is offset by China.

- tlogan 7mo agoThe stats for 2025 are yet official. The quote from your link: > China’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions fell by 1% in the final quarter of 2025, likely securing a decline of 0.3% for the full year as a whole So, increase of 4.7% and then (likely) decrease of 0.3% is a great progress? I would rather wait for official IEA data before claiming victory: https://www.iea.org/countries/china/emissions https://www.iea.org/countries/china/emissions
