The State Council issued the 15th Five‑Year Carbon Peak Action Plan, directing stronger funding and policy support for carbon‑peak and carbon‑neutral projects. It instructs coordinated use of public funding channels to back eligible priority projects and to strengthen tracking and scheduling, while guiding social capital to participate in investment, construction and operation. The plan calls for establishing a national low‑carbon transition fund, deploying tax measures to implement energy‑saving and carbon‑reduction tax incentives, and expanding government green procurement. It directs regulators to boost green‑finance assessment and incentive mechanisms, expand high‑quality green and transition finance product and service supply, tighten green finance standards and disclosure requirements, promote climate‑related investment and financing, encourage financial institutions to carry out financing carbon accounting, and to orderly steer institutions’ operations and asset portfolios toward green low‑carbon transition.
