Over 70 per cent of organisations are investing more than 10 per cent of their capital expenditure in low-carbon initiatives as digitalisation and automation take centre stage.

However, a sharp drop in recent solar installations could create structural headwinds towards peaking emissions. Greenpeace East Asia urged Chinese policymakers to plan for more renewables substitution and consider a just transition.
