  title = {Assessment of China{\textquoteright}s Energy-Saving and Emission-Reduction Accomplishments and Opportunities During the 11th Five Year Plan},
  abstract = {<p>From 1980 to 2002, China experienced a 5\% average annual reduction in energyconsumption per unit of gross domestic product (GDP). With a dramatic reversal of thishistoric relationship, energy intensity increased 5\% per year during 2002-2005. China{\textquoteright}s 11th Five Year Plan (FYP) set a target of reducing energy intensity by 20\% by 2010. This paperassesses selected policies and programs that China has instituted to fulfill the national goal,finding that China made substantial progress and many of the energy-efficiency programsappear to be on track to meet {\textendash} or in some cases exceed {\textendash} their energy-saving targets. Most ofthe Ten Key Projects, the Top-1000 Program, and the Small Plant Closure Program will meetor surpass the 11th FYP savings goals. China{\textquoteright}s appliance standards and labeling program hasbecome very robust. China has greatly enhanced its enforcement of new building energystandards but energy-efficiency programs for buildings retrofits, as well as the goal ofadjusting China{\textquoteright}s economic structure, are failing. It is important to maintain and strengthenthe existing energy-saving policies and programs that are successful while revising programsor adding new policy mechanisms to improve the programs that are not on track to achievethe stated goals.</p>},
