exhibited distinctive features in their ways of curbing greenhouse gases emissions
and reaching the peak (Table 3.2).
After the national release of the Outline of the 13th Five-Year Plan, the above three
provinces (municipalities) have formulated medium and long-term carbon emission
targets, which have been assigned to each area and sector throughout the hierarchy
to encourage structural adjustment and upgrading of key areas and energy-intensive
industries, so as to facilitate the peaking process (Table 3.3).
