Carbon footprint and the development of a green economy (case of the People's Republic of China)

The study presents the features of the impact of the carbon footprint on the ecological and economic situation in China. Currently, the country makes a significant contribution to the greenhouse effect due to emissions from the energy industry, transport systems and industrial enterprises. The article presents the features of this influence and their contribution to the overall impact of the country on the picture of the greenhouse effect. China is quite an ambitious country and plans to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.
