The National Bureau of Statistics released the 2025 National Economic and Social Development Statistical Bulletin on February 28. It shows that by 2025, China’s energy conservation and carbon reduction efforts have achieved remarkable results. Preliminary estimates indicate that, excluding raw material energy use and non-fossil fuel consumption, the energy consumption per ten thousand yuan of GDP decreased by 5.1% compared to the previous year, and carbon dioxide emissions per ten thousand yuan of GDP decreased by 5.0%. The bulletin indicates that in 2025, China’s green and low-carbon transformation has made significant progress. The generation of clean energy sources such as hydropower, nuclear power, wind power, and solar power reached 4.25T kWh, an increase of 14.4% over the previous year. The production of new energy vehicles reached 16.52M units, a 25.1% increase year-on-year; by the end of the year, the total number of new energy vehicles was 43.97 million, an increase of 12.57 million compared to the end of the previous year. Among the 339 monitored cities at or above the prefecture level, 72.6% met air quality standards.

The communiqué shows that in 2025, China’s green and low-carbon transition produced notable results. The generation of clean energy such as hydropower, nuclear power, wind power, and solar power totaled 4,248.1 billion kWh, up 14.4% year over year. The output of new energy vehicles was 16.52M units, up 25.1% year over year; at year-end, the stock of new energy vehicles totaled 43.97 million units, an increase of 12.57 million units compared with the end of the previous year. Among 339 prefecture-level and above cities that were monitored, 72.6% of cities met air quality standards. Among 3,641 national surface water assessment sections, the proportion of sections with good water quality (Categories I–III) was 91.4%, Category IV was 6.9%, Category V was 1.1%, and below Category V was 0.6%.
