PGI in Action—China: Proposing Solutions Aligned to Social Issues & Trends

Panasonic believes that contributing to decarbonization in China, one of the world’s largest emitters of CO2, can have a significant positive impact on efforts to maintain a green planet on a global level.
 
According to the latest International Energy Agency data, energy-related emissions in China were relatively flat between 2021 and 2022, decreasing by 0.2 percent (or 23 megatons) to approximately 12.1 gigatons. The overall yearly decline was the first since structural reforms drove emissions lower in 2015. Complementing efforts by government and industry to promote decarbonization, people in general are becoming increasingly more concerned about environmental issues. According to the “National Ecological and Environmental Survey Report (2022)” published in June 2023, the percentage of people surveyed who frequently pay attention to environmental information has increased from 60.8 percent in 2019 to 78.3 percent, and a majority of people are now practicing green consumption and energy and resource conservation in their daily lives.
