China - the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases - has announced details of its climate action plan.

The office of the Premier said that emissions "will peak by around 2030" and China would work hard to achieve the target even earlier.

The statement echoes China's declaration last November following a US-China summit.

The carbon intensity target builds on a previous plan to cut carbon intensity by 40-45% by 2020.
