Andafta Daily Ethiopian News January 24, 2021. Taye Dendea's controversial comment. China’s recent announcement that it will aim for carbon neutrality by 2060 was followed by commitments from Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.


shows that East Asia is serious about the issue. But truly making a difference will require reconsidering the traditional Asian development model, which has long tolerated environmental degradation in the interest of maximizing growth.

While China’s commitment to carbon neutrality by 2060 is a good start, electricity demand is already forecast to double by 2050 (from 2017 levels). It, therefore, must urgently step up its efforts to improve energy efficiency, adopt green and low-carbon energy, expand energy storage.
