No matter where you live on the planet, China\u2019s efforts to tackle climate change affect us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"about-body\" style=\"font-size:24px\">This is why Carbon Brief is now sending, on Thursdays, a <b>free fortnightly email newsletter<\/b>, which rounds up all the need-to-know information about climate and energy in China from the past fourteen days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"about-body\" style=\"font-size:24px\">Every day, our China team trawls the media \u2013 both inside China and out \u2013 looking for the latest developments relating to climate change. This already feeds into our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carbonbrief.org\/daily-brief\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Daily Briefing<\/a> media digest, but now also helps to shape our fortnightly China Briefing, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"about-body\" style=\"font-size:24px\">The fortnightly China Briefing email provides the context behind the headlines, something that is essential when trying to assess the true significance of, say, a turn of phrase by a Chinese politician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"about-body\" style=\"font-size:24px\">And the email also includes the most interesting new studies we find in our daily search of peer-reviewed science journals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"about-body\" style=\"font-size:24px\">Finally, the China Briefing email highlights some \u201cextra reading\u201d \u2013 links to articles about China that we\u2019ve enjoyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"guten-block block-newsletter block-newsletter-block_7b80787498f790e84346b2f081f0d777 \">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n      <div class=\"col-xs-12\">\n        <p class=\"title\">Expert analysis direct to your inbox.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"col-xs-12 hidden-xs\">\n        <p class=\"body\" style=\"padding-top: 0.5em\">Get a round-up of all the important articles and papers selected by Carbon Brief by email.
