China\u2019s 13th Five-Year Plan released on March 17 outlined a plan to steer its heavily resource-based economy towards one that is increasingly service-oriented, diversified and less carbon-intensive.<\/p>\n

The graphics below, based on official data, illustrate the new targets set in order to meet this goal, and to make progress in the country\u2019s ongoing \u201cwar on pollution\u201d.<\/p>\n

They also summarise the impact of China\u2019s economic transition on energy consumption since the start of the century. Increased demand for fossil fuels over that period has reshaped global geopolitics and patterns of world trade, but worsened environmental crises within China and beyond its borders.<\/p>\n

Crucially, the data show that the rate of coal consumption in China\u2019s energy mix is declining. A 3.7% year-on-year fall in demand for coal in 2015, accompanied by flat\u00a0 lining electricity consumption, has raised hopes that China may have already reached its historical peak not only in demand for coal, but also in its CO2 emissions.
