Two delegate bills propose enacting a Climate Change Response Law [应对气候变化法] to achieve China’s “dual carbon” goals and develop a legislative scheme for reducing carbon emissions. Legislation to “address climate change as well as achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality” is a research project in the current NPCSC’s five-year legislation plan. According to the report, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment had completed a draft Climate Change Response Law and was actively working to advance the process. The report also discloses that the Environmental and Ecological Code being drafted would include “general and guiding provisions” on climate-change response. The Code may be submitted for review as early as 2025.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lgdtrfslm4q2f2thgd5mntip/bafkreigghowiupxgqlkw3rp3f7io4sdtmkrbrlelhws7nnono4bscuuo3e)
