China's CO2 Emissions Hit Record in the first quarter of this year, with emissions set to rise to an all-time high in 2023. This increase was driven by a robust economic rebound after the end of China's extended and much-criticized zero-COVID policy, stimulus measures in manufacturing and construction sectors, and weak hydropower generation due to low rainfall and ongoing drought. If sustained, this rapid expansion of low-carbon energy could enable emissions to peak and enter structural decline.
