quantitatively assesses the green and low-carbon transition of 30 Chinese provincial-level regions over the decade from 2013 to 2022 using the Subnational Low-Carbon and Green Index for China (Subnational LOGIC), which encompasses 26 indicators across four categories: carbon productivity; carbon emissions (covering energy, power, industry, buildings, transport, and agriculture); environmental conditions and land use; and policy systems and public participation. The analysis employs multiple classification frameworks\u2014economic-geographic regions, economic development stages (Pioneer, Leading, Catching-Up, and Developing Economies), national major regional strategies, and energy development positioning\u2014to identify structural divergences in transition patterns. It finds that scores improved across all provinces, with carbon productivity, energy, and power showing nationwide progress while transport, buildings, and industry remain key frontiers for deep decarbonization. The report also presents in-depth case studies of Guangdong, Jiangxi, Shanxi, and Hainan to examine differentiated transition pathways across economic development stages.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"span1\">Report<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"date\">JUN 2026<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"picbox\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pic\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1082\" src=\"https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-1.42.45-PM-768x1082.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-1.42.45-PM-768x1082.jpg 768w, https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-1.42.45-PM-213x300.jpg 213w, https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-1.42.45-PM-727x1024.jpg 727w, https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-1.42.45-PM-1090x1536.jpg 1090w, https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-1.42.45-PM.jpg 1124w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/insights\/provincial-15th-five-year-plan-recommendations-dual-carbon-keywords\/\" class=\"con\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"txt\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tit\">Provincial &#8220;15th Five-Year Plan&#8221; Recommendations: Dual-Carbon Keywords<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"desc\">This policy brief analyzes the green and low-carbon development content in provincial-level recommendations for China&#039;s 15th Five-Year Plan (2026\u20132030).

dual-control policy (controlling both total carbon emissions and carbon intensity), tracing its evolution from the energy consumption dual-control system. It explains the policy&#039;s rationale, phased objectives, key tasks, and supporting mechanisms through a structured question-and-answer format. The analysis synthesizes central policy documents from the State Council, NDRC, and MEE, and incorporates subnational case studies from Zhejiang, Guangzhou, and Hangzhou that have pioneered carbon budgeting and project-level carbon assessments. It also examines the policy&#039;s linkages with carbon markets, green certificate trading, and voluntary emission reduction mechanisms, offering a systematic reference for policymakers and researchers.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"span1\">Report<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"date\">NOV 2025<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"picbox\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pic\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1087\" src=\"https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-9.49.31-PM-768x1087.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-9.49.31-PM-768x1087.jpg 768w, https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-9.49.31-PM-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-9.49.31-PM-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-9.49.31-PM-1086x1536.jpg 1086w, https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-9.49.31-PM.jpg 1128w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This report provides an early analysis of what China&#8217;s second Nationally Determined Contribution might contain, reviewing international and domestic sustainable development trends since the Paris Agreement and assessing China&#8217;s progress in implementing its first NDC.
