China to clean up

November 27, 2009 Edition 2

BEIJING: China announced plans yesterday to cut its carbon emissions by up to 45 percent as measured against its economic output - a target aimed at keeping its surging growth while still reining in pollution.

China's State Council, or cabinet, said said the improvements would come through better research and development, clean coal technology, advanced nuclear energy and better transport systems. - Sapa-AP
