China's current climate change policy makes it unlikely for them to reduce emissions soon. Energy is crucial for their economy, making them hesitant to commit to emission reductions. Climate change vulnerability is becoming a concern in China, which could push the issue higher on their agenda. Chinese policymakers still view global climate change as a distant problem and mainly a foreign-policy issue. Despite international pressure, China has not agreed to emission reduction commitments. However, they are actively involved in the Clean Development Mechanism to address climate change issues domestically.
