China: Agriculture a Key Area Under PRC Methane Emissions Plan
Link to report:
On November 7, 2023, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) released its long-awaited Methane Emissions Control Action Plan. The plan, jointly released by 11 PRC departments, provides “Key Tasks” for methane emissions control in eight major areas, including the agricultural sector, through 2035. Though focused on methane, much of the agricultural related tasks outlined mirror previously issued Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MARA) plans for the sector and provide few metrics or targets for measuring reductions. This report includes an unofficial translation of the plan.
