LONDON -- The executive director of Paris-based International Energy Agency Fatih Birol said that while China's goal to become carbon neutral before 2060 is "very welcome," there are as yet no policies to reach that target, in a telephone interview with Nikkei Asia.
President Xi Jinping announced at the U.N. General Assembly in September that China "aims to have carbon emissions peak before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060."
