3.3 About China’s Low Carbon Pilots

In July 2010, the National Development and Reforms Council initiated
a low carbon pilot province and city programme, including five
provinces (Yunnan, Guangdong, Hubei, Shaanxi, and Liaoning) and
eight cities (Tianjin, Baoding, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Nanchang,
Guiyang, Xiamen, and Shenzhen) across the country. In November
2012, another 29 provinces and cities have been selected as the second
batch of low carbon pilots. Details of the two batches of low carbon
pilots are shown in the Table 3.4.All these pilot cities and provinces
occupy 57 per cent of China’s GDP, 42 per cent of China’s population,
and 56 per cent of energy related CO2 emissions.
