The group of 60 states that discuss the fossil fuel phase out as described in the linked article formed during the latest COP last year in Brazil as the majority of governments refused to commit to an end of fossil fuels. China and the US were among these countries.
US, oil producing countries, Europe are generally a lot worse than China on a per capita consumption basis.
If we look at the CO₂ emissions per capita of the world’s top 30 economies by GDP, China sits at number 9 with 8.7 tons per year and person (in 2024). This is more than double the global average and more than any European country except Russia.
China's climate action's are also highly insufficient, including against the country's fair share regarding its National Determined Contributions (NDCs). It's not that Europe is on track to achieve the Paris goals, but it's much better than China.
Despite a rise in renewable energy investments, coal has re-emerged as an ongoing force in China’s power system in recent years for a variety of reasons, and this is also clearly embedded in Beijing’s recently released new 15th Five-Year Plan.
It's time that Europe revives its own renewable energy industry. Environmental laws regarding production and consumption are much stronger in Europe than in China, and so it is better for Europe from a security point of view.
