China: The country’s carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions were unchanged year-on-year in the third quarter of 2025, continuing the flat-to-declining trend seen since March 2024.
Emissions from the production of cement and other building materials fell by 7% during the quarter, reflecting the prolonged real-estate downturn that has reduced construction activity. In the first nine months of 2025, China added 240GW of solar and 61GW of wind capacity, which could set a new record, according to Carbon Brief.
