China vital for cutting greenhouse gases, EU official says
May 15, 2014 Category Environment, Greenhouse gas emissions
European Union Commissioner for Climate Action Connie Hedegaard paid a four-day visit to China as the international community is working on a 2030 road map to reduce greenhouse gases. Hedegaard has urged big emitters such as the United States, the European Union and China to make “more efforts” to cut emissions and achieve low-carbon growth to tackle global warming. “China’s cooperation and contribution are vital for the success of the Paris climate change conference,” Hedegaard said. In 2015, the UN will meet in Paris to negotiate a global road map on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and lowering carbon growth, and in September this year, the UN will meet for a summit on sustainability in New York, aimed at placing climate change at the top of leaders’ agendas. Hedegaard discussed the expectations for the Paris 2015 climate change conference with her Chinese counterpart Xie Zhenhua. “The world will not be able to tackle climate change efficiently enough without a strong contribution from China,” she said.
