(ECNS) -- China has made significant progress in tackling climate change in recent years, gradually developing a green, low-carbon growth model with Chinese characteristics, a senior environment official said Wednesday.

Vice Minister of Ecology and Environment Li Gao made the remarks at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office.

According to the report released during the conference, China's carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP fell 17.7% in 2025 from 2020 levels. Non-fossil energy sources accounted for 21.7% of the country's total energy consumption.

China's combined installed wind and solar power capacity reached 1.84 billion kilowatts in 2025, while its forest stock volume totaled 21 billion cubic meters.
