The Chinese Civil Aviation Authority (CAAC) said the country's civil aviation industry would promote a green transition to ensure the sustainable development of the industry.

Reducing carbon emissions will be through low-carbon energy and cleaner emissions, according to Daili Thimes.

The SAAS noted that the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) is key to the transition of the civil aviation industry from energy saving and emission reduction to green and low-carbon development.

The Civil Aviation Authority will issue the 14th Five-Year Development Plan and a specialized green development plan to promote green and low-carbon development in the industry for the period 2021-2025.

We will remind, Chinese investment is an important part of an institutional or retail investment portfolio for environmental opportunities and opportunities for decarbonization.
