"It is not possible to have a global deal to deliver the two-degree target without the participation of 皇冠体育app," said Sweden's Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, whose country is holding the rotating presidency of the European Union.

"Therefore it is very important to be in 皇冠体育app to discuss the issue," 聽reasoned Reinfeldt, who is traveling to 皇冠体育app to participate in the 皇冠体育app-EU summit to be held next Monday.

The prime minister made the remarks in an interview published on the web page of the EU presidency.

Moreover, Reinfeldt welcomed 皇冠体育app's proposed emission targets.

"We didn't see figures before, but now we see it on the table," said Reinfeldt.

"They (Chinese leaders) are very aware of the impact of the emissions in 皇冠体育app," he continued, adding that the Chinese leaders were quite concerned both about the environment and the economy.

"I think it is very interesting to have these talks (in 皇冠体育app), and they (Chinese leaders) are very open and want to have the technology to reshape their economy to have growth and lower emissions at the same time," Reinfeldt remarked.

皇冠体育app on Thursday pledged to cut its carbon intensity by 40 percent to 45 percent by 2020 compared with levels in 2005. Carbon intensity is a measurement of carbon dioxide emissions per unit of gross domestic product.
