"Analysing trends in the key emitting sectors, we conclude that China's greenhouse gas emissions are unlikely to peak as late as 2030, the upper limit set by President Xi Jinping in November 2014, and are much more likely to peak by 2025," said the paper, co-authored by climate economist Nicholas Stern and analyst Fergus Green.
We looked at all the major emitting sectors and the most recent scientific analyses of what can be done – and how fast – to come up with a list of the most important things to do in the next five to ten years to bend the emissions curve downwards.

The cement industry is the second-largest CO2 emitting industrial sector in China, and it is faced with increasing worldwide criticism to pressure China to reduce its CO2 emissions to acceptable level.
The cement production industry worldwide is one of the largest CO2 emitting industrial sectors.
For the city logistics distribution system, as a significant energy-consuming and pollutant-emitting sector, energy saving and emission reduction are very meaningful especially for megacities like Beijing.
Royal DSM, for instance, is a company in a high-emitting sector that is actively aligning its business with climate science and recently reported a strong first quarter.
The UAE population is at a high risk of such exposures due to increased urbanisation, reliance on motorised transportation and traffic congestion, adverse weather conditions such as dust/sand storms, and the rapid expansion of the construction and manufacturing sectors emitting air-borne pollutants.
Identifying it as "a major threat to the environment" (FAO 2006), the FAO found that the animal agriculture sector emits 18%, or nearly one-fifth, of human-induced GHG emissions, more than the transportation sector.
Adding to these benefits, the ICT sector emits less than two percent of global greenhouse-gas emissions, while helping to offset omissions from sectors responsible for the remaining 98percentt.
