Abstract

The climate change problem has gradually become the focus of peoples attention. Climate change will lead to severe environmental issues, such as global warming and sea level rise. As a responsible country, China positively undertakes the responsibility to face current climate issues and comes up with feasible ideas to solve them. Consequently, China announces realizing carbon peak by 2030 and realizing carbon neutrality by 2060. Based on the rapid urbanization process, the emissions of cities are large, particularly in megacities. According to the research, construction, transportation, and energy fields contribute to higher carbon emissions in megacities. This paper employs a method of literature review and case study to analyze the path towards achieving carbon neutrality in China before 2060. Up to now, Chinas megacities have explored different paths to realize carbon emissions reduction in previous fields. Meanwhile, there are some experiences utilized by foreign megacities that are worth learning. In the future, Chinas megacities will find unique paths to realize carbon neutrality, such as regionally coordinated development.
