China’s 15th Five-Year Plan charts the path for China’s economic and social development for 2026 to 2030. The plan was released and adopted by the National People’s Congress in March 2026. While the previous 14th Five-Year Plan reiterated the previously announced targets of achieving emissions peaking by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060, the 15th Five-Year Plan has more references to emissions peaking than to carbon neutrality, and does not mention any target years.
