The 2011 document provides one section specifically refers to Mitigating climate change. The white paper which was "issued to enable the international community to fully understand China's policies and actions for addressing climate change, and the positive results achieved in this regard during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, as well as China's overall arrangements to address climate change and its related negotiating position during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period (2011-2015)." It also states that "The Outline of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development released in 2011 established the policy orientation of promoting green and low-carbon development, and expressly set out the objectives and tasks of addressing climate change for the next five years." 4. "China established the National Coordination Committee on Climate Change (NCCCC), which presently comprises 17 ministries and agencies." (Page 13, China's NCCP) China's Five year plan provides mitigation targets for the country. In addition the Nov 2011 document also confirms the centrality of the 12th Five year plan in defining China's response to climate change. As this plan is already in force therefore I have categorized it as national climate legislation. The five year plan is approved by the People's congress.
