The State Council, China's Cabinet, announced Thursday that the country is going to reduce the intensity of carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP in 2020 by 40 to 45 percent compared with the level of 2005.

This is a voluntary action taken by the Chinese government based on its own national conditions and is a major contribution to the global effort in tackling climate change, the State Council said.
