China’s INSANE Rooftop Solar Record: Emissions Fall for the First Time!
China has set an unprecedented rooftop solar installation record, leading to its first-ever decline in carbon emissions. This solar surge is reshaping the nation’s energy mix and accelerating the global clean energy transition. The scale and speed of deployment are nothing short of historic.

Emissions have risen in 2024 in China. First estimates put it at +0,8%. It is for sure good considering a GDP growth at +5% but it is not a fall. There is only a fall on certain months/periods… US saw a decrease of -0,4% and EU had -2,9% (following a -8,5% in 2023) World +0,8%. All time high.

Do you mind providing a source for this information? It seems to contradict this

It is not contradicting it actually. The article you refer to is doing a comparison between Q1 2024 and Q1 2025. it‘s very early estimation on a quarter. I am referring to full 2024 vs 2023. but certainly many articles estimates a possible reduction in 2025. this would be a great example for the world.
