China to invest in low-carbon economy
In China low-carbon development will be promoted in the country’s current five-year plan, which began this year. In this time span China is to invest 2 trillion yuan (over $300 billion) in this particular sector, according to Reuters.
The money will be spent on creating low-carbon programmes in five provinces and eight cities, as well as 100 centres focusing on use of resources.
