The climate change resulting from greenhouse gas emissions is one of the most important global environmental problems. The issues of China`s emissions and national response policy and strategy for mitigating CO{sub 2} emissions are closely related to the global environment. As one of the largest developing countries, China is making great effort to realize its ambitious socioeconomic development. With economic development and population growth, energy consumption will inevitably increase, as will the amount of CO{sub 2} emissions. Therefore, it will be a difficult task for China to formulate energy development strategies and policies for a sound environment and climate. This paper will outline the current energy consumption and CO{sub 2} emissions, and analyze the factors influencing energy demand and CO{sub 2} emissions. Finally, response policy and strategy for mitigating CO{sub 2} emissions will be assessed in detail.
