SHANDONG PROVINCE, CHINA - SEPTEMBER 27: A coal power plant is seen in operation on September 27, 2021 in southern Shandong Province, China. China, the largest contributor to carbon emissions, has plans to peak them by 2030, and to become carbon neutral by 2060. However, after recent power supply problems resulted in factories being shut and homes left without electricity throughout the country, the government has stressed the importance of traditional energy supply, alarming environmentalists ahead of the upcoming Glasgow’s United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26).
