With COP26 taking place, the world is closely observing China’s role in climate change and how China will achieve carbon neutrality in 2060. Amidst the recent series of severe power cuts which are partly driven by China's decarbonization drive, companies in China are left to wonder which short- and long-term actions China will take.

As an intergovernmental organization advising governments on energy policy, the International Energy Agency (IEA) just published An Energy Sector Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality in China which sets out pathways for achieving carbon neutrality in China’s energy sector.

The findings of this comprehensive research project, which is the result of a close cooperation with Chinese think-tanks and policy advisors, will serve as the backdrop for addressing the following questions:

1. Outcomes of COP26: What major progress was made at COP and how does China figure into this?

2. How do China’s recently released documents (Working Guideline plus Action Plan for Peak by 2030) align with the IEA’s Roadmap?

3. Given the current power shortages, how can China balance guaranteeing secure energy supply and achieving the carbon goals? How will this impact progress on goals?

4. How long will this situation last and will it shift the focus of central planners going forward? What measures can help manage this in the future?

5. What is the impact of China’s announcement of no longer building new overseas coal projects?
