China, the worlds biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, is considering plans to set an absolute cap on its carbon dioxide emissions from 2016, a top government adviser said. The target will be written into Chinas next five-year plan, which comes into force in 2016, He Jiankun, the chairman of Chinas Advisory Committee on Climate Change, told a conference in Beijing. The government will use two ways to control carbon dioxide emissions in the next five-year plan, by intensity and an absolute cap, said He, a former vice-president at Tsinghua University. This is the first time that a senior government adviser has publicly spoken about a timetable for Chinas carbon cap, but He later tried to play down the significance of his statement.
