China's Clean Energy Milestone: CO₂ Emissions Fall for the First Time

China has achieved a historic environmental milestone. For the first time, the nation's CO₂ emissions have declined due to a surge in clean energy production, not economic slowdown. Carbon Brief reports a 1.6% year-on-year drop in emissions for Q1 2025, with a 1% decrease over the past year. This shift is driven by substantial increases in wind, solar, and nuclear energy, which have reduced reliance on coal power. However, with emissions just 1% below the recent peak, there's a possibility of a rebound.
