As part of China's nationally determined contributions targets, by 2035, the country's non-fossil energy consumption will account for more than 30% of total energy consumption, Xi said in a video speech to a climate summit of the assembly, News.Az reports citing Reuters.
China will strive for its total installed capacity of wind and solar power generation to reach 3.6 billion kilowatts, more than six times the 2020 level, Xi said.
