# China’s carbon emissions declined by 1.6-percent in the 12-months up to May 2025, as the world races to cut emissions in the fight against climate change. The country is currently responsible for some 30-percent of global emissions.

Meanwhile, electricity generated from fossil fuels over the first four months of this year fell by 3.6-percent.
