It will be a reference point for the government as it drafts the actual plan. On this occasion, the meeting also provided guidance for a long-term vision for 2035, when the state has set the key deadline to \u201cbasically achieve socialist modernisation\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fifth Plenum issued a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xinhuanet.com\/politics\/zywj\/2020-11\/03\/c_1126693293.htm?mc_cid=afeb03209b&amp;mc_eid=53701013ad\">guide to action<\/a> with a long title \u2013&nbsp;Proposals for Formulating the 14th Five Year Plan (2021-2025) for National Economic and Social Development and the Long-Range Objectives Through the Year 2035 (hereafter \u201cthe Proposals\u201d). It also provided interpretation on the meaning of \u201cgreen development\u201d and offers a view into what China\u2019s leadership is thinking about climate action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-from-party-proposals-to-the-14th-fyp\">From party proposals to the 14<sup>th<\/sup> FYP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The drafting of a FYP is always important for Chinese policy. In terms of official discourse, the 14<sup>th<\/sup> FYP will be the first as China moves from its 2020 goal of creating a \u201cmoderately prosperous society\u201d towards the 2050 goal of comprehensive socialist modernisation. That makes this FYP especially important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of particular interest is how China will integrate into the FYP its September commitments to achieve peak carbon before 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. The plan will be seen by many <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/climate\/six-reasons-why-chinas-climate-pledges-are-huge-news\/\">as a test<\/a> of how seriously the pledge is being taken at the policy level. Climate policy observers also hoped to see some signals from the Fifth Plenum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-story-image block--story-image\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--story-image__column\"><div class=\"block--story-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201125_14th-five-year-plan_timeline-English-v3.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201125_14th-five-year-plan_timeline-English-v3.svg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201125_14th-five-year-plan_timeline-English-v3.svg 1024w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201125_14th-five-year-plan_timeline-English-v3.svg 1400w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201125_14th-five-year-plan_timeline-English-v3.svg\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 999px) 1024px, (max-width: 1400px) 1400px, (max-width: 2000px) 2000px, 1500px\" alt=\"14th five year plan_timeline\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--story-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--story-image__caption\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201125_14th-five-year-plan_timeline-English-v3.svg\"\/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"130 KB\"\/><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"1172.66\"\/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"1500\"\/><meta itemprop=\"author\"\/><meta itemprop=\"representativeOfPage\" content=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It should be noted that the Proposals are intended to provide guidance only, and consist mainly of qualitative statements. Next, the State Council\u2019s National Development and Reform Commission will lead the drafting of a more concrete outline of the 14<sup>th<\/sup> FYP. This will be in accordance with the overall direction and strategy set in the Proposals. It will take on board <a href=\"http:\/\/finance.china.com.cn\/news\/20201110\/5428173.shtml\">opinions<\/a> from other government bodies, research institutes and stakeholders, and ultimately produce specific targets and projects. That draft will be submitted to the National People\u2019s Congress (NPC) for approval at next year\u2019s Two Sessions, which usually take place in March, although they were <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/business\/all-eyes-on-chinas-post-lockdown-twin-sessions\/\">delayed to May this year<\/a> due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the 14<sup>th<\/sup> FYP outline is approved by the NPC, government departments and local governments will come up with their own special plans. For the first time this will include a plan on climate change, the drafting of which will be led by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE). The plans for energy and the power sector, to be drafted by the National Energy Administration, are expected after the 2021 Two Sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2035-visions\">2035 visions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the goals set in the Proposals is for per capita GDP to match that of moderately developed nations by 2035. There is no generally accepted definition of such nations but based on classifications from the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development on high-income and advanced economies, Chinese experts have interpreted moderately developed nations as having a per-capita GDP of <a href=\"http:\/\/finance.china.com.cn\/news\/20201110\/5428173.shtml\">US$20,000 to $40,000<\/a>. As China\u2019s per-capita GDP was US$10,000 in 2019, analysis shows this will require China to maintain <a href=\"https:\/\/mp.weixin.qq.com\/s\/KVNkABCaGV69MEI8JSQu9g\">steady real growth<\/a> over the coming 15 years \u2013 at an average of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yicai.com\/news\/100826054.html\">3.6%<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/opinion.caixin.com\/2020-11-13\/101627223.html\">4.8%<\/a> or even <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chinadevelopment.com.cn\/news\/zj\/2020\/11\/1692183.shtml\">5.4%<\/a>, depending on the calculations used. Economists generally hold that maintaining such high growth for that long a period is difficult. The media have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yicai.com\/news\/100820865.html\">commented<\/a> that while the Proposals may have seemed low-key, in this respect they have set a concrete target for future economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-story-image block--story-image\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--story-image__column\"><div class=\"block--story-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201125_14th-five-year-plan_goals-English-v3.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201125_14th-five-year-plan_goals-English-v3.svg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201125_14th-five-year-plan_goals-English-v3.svg 1024w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201125_14th-five-year-plan_goals-English-v3.svg 1400w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201125_14th-five-year-plan_goals-English-v3.svg\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 999px) 1024px, (max-width: 1400px) 1400px, (max-width: 2000px) 2000px, 1500px\" alt=\"14th five year plan_goals\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--story-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--story-image__caption\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201125_14th-five-year-plan_goals-English-v3.svg\"\/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"99 KB\"\/><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"1003.63\"\/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"1500\"\/><meta itemprop=\"author\"\/><meta itemprop=\"representativeOfPage\" content=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The vision in the Proposals for carbon emissions and ecological conservation should be understood in this context of China\u2019s economic trajectory. They stipulate that by 2035 \u201cChina\u2019s carbon emissions will gradually decline in a state of stabilisation after peaking, and there will be fundamental ecological and environmental improvements\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This wording on economic growth and carbon emissions sets the boundaries for climate and energy targets for the coming period, and particularly for the 14<sup>th<\/sup> FYP. The need for higher GDP means the next 15 years will continue to see a powerful drive for development and growth that is better quality and more efficient. Meanwhile, the \u201cstable and declining\u201d formulation indicates that no sudden drop in post-peak carbon emissions is expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was reflected in a study recently published by Tsinghua University\u2019s Institute for Climate Change and Sustainable Development. In the study\u2019s recommended <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/climate\/researchers-unveil-roadmap-for-a-carbon-neutral-china-by-2060\/\">roadmap for 2060 carbon neutrality<\/a>, energy consumption would peak five years later than carbon emissions, in 2035, and only then would a steeper emissions decline begin, to approach zero emissions relatively quickly. The year 2035 is therefore a watershed moment for China\u2019s emissions. This was confirmed by the Proposals, which mandate that the 14<sup>th<\/sup> FYP targets should be \u201canchored\u201d to the 2035 longer-term goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-14th-fyp-climate-and-energy-targets\">14<sup>th<\/sup> FYP climate and energy targets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though the Proposals only briefly and qualitatively touch upon climate change, they nevertheless lay an important political foundation for key 14<sup>th<\/sup> FYP climate and energy targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Particular attention will be paid to binding targets on carbon intensity, the proportion of non-fossil fuels in the primary energy mix, and coal power capacity, in both the outline of the general 14<sup>th<\/sup> FYP and the more specific plans. Those targets will have a huge impact on low-carbon and emissions-reduction efforts over the coming five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-story-image block--story-image\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--story-image__column\"><div class=\"block--story-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201125_14th-five-year-plan_expectations-English-v3.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201125_14th-five-year-plan_expectations-English-v3.svg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201125_14th-five-year-plan_expectations-English-v3.svg 1024w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201125_14th-five-year-plan_expectations-English-v3.svg 1400w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201125_14th-five-year-plan_expectations-English-v3.svg\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 999px) 1024px, (max-width: 1400px) 1400px, (max-width: 2000px) 2000px, 1500px\" alt=\"14th five year plan_expectations\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--story-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--story-image__caption\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201125_14th-five-year-plan_expectations-English-v3.svg\"\/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"212 KB\"\/><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"745.13\"\/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"1500\"\/><meta itemprop=\"author\"\/><meta itemprop=\"representativeOfPage\" content=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Binding targets have been set on the proportion of non-fossil sources in the energy mix since the 12<sup>th<\/sup> FYP (2011-2015). Over the decade, this measure has risen from 8.3% in 2010 to 16% this year. China\u2019s Nationally Determined Contribution, made under the Paris Agreement, set 2020 and 2030 targets of 15% and 20% respectively. Accordingly, the media has suggested that the 14<sup>th<\/sup> FYP will see a target of around <a href=\"http:\/\/finance.china.com.cn\/industry\/20200915\/5370326.shtml\">18%<\/a>. But with China\u2019s new carbon neutrality pledge, it is generally expected that China will adjust the target in line with its recent commitments, spurring on further growth in wind and solar power with a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.solarbe.com\/202009\/27\/330838.html\">higher target<\/a> for the proportion of renewables in the energy mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commenting on future growth for fossil fuel energy, particularly coal, during a discussion on the 14<sup>th<\/sup> FYP, the MEE\u2019s climate department indicated China is set to take stronger measures on fossil fuel consumption, with strict controls on coal and restrictions on coal power expansion. It remains to be seen if coal power capacity during the 14<sup>th<\/sup> FYP will be larger than the <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/climate\/9532-china-raises-its-low-carbon-ambitions-in-new-2-2-targets\/\">limit of 1,100 GW<\/a> set by the 13<sup>th<\/sup> FYP for energy development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following on from China\u2019s commitment on carbon neutrality, the MEE has said its 14<sup>th<\/sup> FYP for combating climate change is in the works. This would be the first national-level plan specific to climate change, and alongside an almost-certain toughening of carbon-intensity targets, experts have <a href=\"https:\/\/res.cenews.com.cn\/h5\/news.html?id=122323\">suggested<\/a> it should also add a carbon cap for the power sector and reductions targets for non-CO2 greenhouse gases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The commitment on carbon neutrality has led to louder calls for an <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/energy\/china-should-set-up-a-carbon-cap-zou-ji-on-the-next-national-energy-targets\/\">economy-wide carbon emissions cap<\/a> in the 14<sup>th<\/sup> FYP. The above-mentioned Tsinghua University study suggested a cap of 10.5 billion tonnes by 2025. Emissions in 2020 are expected to be 10.33 billion tonnes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike most nations that have committed to carbon neutrality, China\u2019s economy is still growing rapidly, and that growth is not yet uncoupled from carbon emissions. Yet moving from a peak to zero emissions will take China around 30 years less than already-developed nations. The job of deciding how to ensure emissions start to fall as soon as possible is only just getting started.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drafting of the 14th Five Year Plan for development is at a crucial stage.
