Hopes for climate change pact
Print Edition
CHINA pins high hopes on a new global climate change pact to be reached late next year, said China’s chief climate negotiator Xie Zhenhua.
Xie made these remarks on the sidelines of the UN Climate Summit on Tuesday, a one-day meeting aimed at building momentum for the new global accord to be signed next year in Paris of France.
“China will play an active and constructive role in promoting the multilateral process,” said Xie, also vice chairman of the National Development and Reform Commission.
While noting that China stays well on track to fulfilling its pledge to cut carbon intensity by 40 percent to 45 percent by 2020 from the 2005 level, Xie said carbon intensity in China was down by 28.5 percent last year.
However, Xie noted that there will be no let-up in China’s efforts to fight climate change beyond the year of 2020, saying that China plans to unveil its post-2020 action plan on climate change during the first quarter of next year.
