China’s top climate envoy told a UN summit his country would not retreat from the fight against global warming, a day after Beijing and Washington were urged to boost efforts.
“Energy and food crises have hit the world one after another, and the climate action process is facing serious challenges,” Xie Zhenhua said at the gathering of some 100 world leaders at the United Nations COP27 climate summit in Egypt. “China has been actively responding to climate change with sustained and pragmatic actions,” he added.
“China’s determination of actively participating in global climate governance will not retreat, let alone change.”
