China is stepping up the pace of issuing climate change mitigation policies to meet its 2060 carbon neutrality goal. These policies include the recently launched Emissions Trading System (ETS) and others targeting energy-intensive industries. Industry-focused policies will have a more immediate impact on emissions than the ETS initially. However, transitioning from government intervention to market forces needs to accelerate to reduce the economic cost of climate change mitigation policies.
