Based on implemented policies, China"s GHG emissions are expected to increase to between 11,779 and 13,437 MtCO2e by 2030 (excl. forestry). This is not in line with an emission pathway compatible with the Paris Agreement. 1 China's NDC, with CO2 emissions peaking around 2030, is not consistent with the Paris Agreement's temperature limit but would lead to a warming of between 3°C and 4°C. 2 China shows strong progress on energy efficiency for buildings and renewable energy but generally sectoral policies still fall short of being consistent with the Paris Agreement, especially on coal. 3China's coal consumption
increased again in 2017, after a three-year decline, bringing uncertainty over the country's future coal use.China announced in 2017
the launch of an emissions trading scheme for its power sector, with a trial period from 2019.China has exceeded its 2020
renewable electricity target of 105 GW installed capacity three years early. More than half of new global solar PV capacity in 2016 and 2017 was installed in China.This country profile is part of the Brown to Green 2018 report. The full report and other G20 country proles can be downloaded

CHINA'S EXPOSURE TO CLIMATE IMPACTS
6 This indicator shows the extent to which human society and its supporting sectors are affected by the future changing climate conditions based on an approximately 2°C scenario. This sectoral exposure will be even higher given that the efforts depicted in current NDCs will lead to an approximately3°C scenario.

overall GHG emissions are CO2 emissions from energy, which increased in China by 8% (2012-2017), at a much slower
