Chinese endeavor at Paris meeting
In strong signs of support for world's climate efforts, Chinese President Xi Jinping reiterated China's pledge to cut its carbon emissions per unit of the GDP by 60-65 percent from the 2005 levels by 2030 at the opening ceremony of the Paris climate summit.
He also pledged to increase non-fossil fuel sources in primary energy consumption to about 20 percent and peak its carbon emissions by the same date.
The Chinese delegation made extensive contacts with convening parties during the summit. Xie said he had consulted with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, ministers and heads of delegations from Malaysia, India, the United States and many other countries.
A seminar to share China's experience of transforming the Kubuqi Desert in north China into an oasis was organized on the sidelines of the meeting, offering valuable experience to other developing countries in this endeavor.
China has delivered its Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) with fundamental difference to many other countries in that it includes "mitigation and adaptation strategies and policies as well as specific measures, even several operational and specific projects," Xie said.
World Bank's vice president and special envoy for climate change Rachel Kyte also hailed the Chinese INDCs, saying it included a package of "hard" targets, such as emission peaking around 2030 and achieving non-fossil fuel share of 20 percent in the primary energy mix of by the same year.
In the most critical moments ahead of the finish line of the Paris meeting, Chinese President Xi and his U.S. counterpart Barack Obama held a telephone conversation Friday.
In the phone conversation, Xi said China and the United States need to strengthen coordination and work together with all parties to ensure that the historic conference could reach an agreement as scheduled.
The U.S. side is willing to maintain close coordination with China to promote achievement of success at the conference, Obama told Xi.
