Abstract
The actualization of the global environmental agenda and decarbonization as a global development trend necessitates the study of the experience of various countries around the world, primarily China as the largest producer of industrial products and emitter of CO2, which has a profound impact on the entire global economic system and all its aspects. The importance of combating climate change for China is shown both in terms of participation in the global economic system and the successful development of the national economy. China's approach to the need for international cooperation in combating climate change is presented in order to jointly build a fair, reasonable, mutually beneficial global climate management system and strengthen control over greenhouse gas emissions. The synergy between economic development and reduction of pollution and carbon dioxide emissions is emphasized. The objectives and opportunities of China in the field of decarbonization of the national economy are analyzed. China's initiative to address climate change is described. It is noted that China considers the fight against climate change as an important means of promoting the building of ecological civilization and achieving high-quality development of national economy.
