GHG emissions reduction targets: 
Reduction of 25.9 MTCO2e from transportation by 2030 against a 2016 baseline. Reduction of 28.2 MTCO2e from new energy industries by 2030 against a 2016 baseline. Reduction of 1 MTCO2e from agriculture and livestock by 2030 against a 2016 baseline. Reduction of 3.6 MTCO2e from public and other sectors by 2030 against a 2016 baselineThe industrial sector, which includes steel, petrochemicals, and 20 other business types, is to reduce 56.4 MTCO2e through energy efficiency improvements, gas development through environmentally friendly processes, refrigerant replacement, innovative technologies, and waste resource use by 2030 against a 2016 baseline. Reduction of 3.6 MTCO2e from waste by 2030 against a 2016 baseline. Reduction of 35.8 MTCO2e from buildings by 2030 against a 2016 baseline. Reduction of 64.5 MTCO2e in the power generation sector, which is to be achieved through adoption of low-carbon power sources, management of electricity demand, and higher electricity transmission and supply efficiency, by 2030 against a 2016 baseline. Allocating 219 MTCO2e reductions among the 315 million tons to reduced by 2030 to eight areas, including power generation, industry, and construction by 2030 compared with a 2016 baseline.
