China unveils new energy strategy to cut coal usage by 2020

In an attempt to modernise its energy structure and make it “clean and green”, China, on Wednesday, released its comprehensive Energy Development Strategy Action Plan (2014-2020), which includes a long list of targets for future.

This energy strategy plan comes against the backdrop of a recent deal struck between Chinese President Xi Jinping and the US President Barack Obama under which the US pledged to cut its emissions by 26 to 28 per cent by 2025 while China committed to peak its emissions by 2030.
