Beijing, Nov 27 (PTI) China's ruling Communist Party today endorsed the government's decision to cut carbon emissions by up to 45 per cent and improve energy efficiency.
Pledging to "actively" deal with climate change next year by implementing measures to cut its carbon intensity and improve energy efficiency, a meeting of the Politburo decided to step up construction of major projects related to energy conservation and environmental protection in 2010.

More support in terms of investment should be given to promote energy saving and emissions reduction, the meeting, chaired by chaired by President Hu Jintao, also General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, decided, the official Xinhua news agency reported.

The meeting came a day after China's State Council, the Cabinet, announced the country aimed to cut the amount of carbon dioxide it emitted per unit of gross domestic product by 40 to 45 per cent from 2005 levels by 2020.
