It covers developments across emissions management, energy (renewables, coal, hydrogen, energy storage), power (grid modernization, market reform), industry (equipment renewal, energy-intensive sector action plans), transport (vehicle-grid integration, charging infrastructure), buildings, agriculture, non-CO₂ gases, pollution reduction, waste, climate adaptation, carbon markets, and green finance. It highlights major policy milestones including the Energy Law enactment, the carbon dual-control framework, the coal mine methane emission standard revision, and the expansion of the "two new" (equipment renewal and consumer goods replacement) policy.
