皇冠体育app expects to arrive at a comprehensive and balanced agreement during the two-week Paris climate conference starting from Nov 30.

Leaders of 190 nations will gather in Paris to discuss a new global agreement on climate change that is expected to lead to an action plan after 2020 to avoid the catastrophic results of global warming.

Chinese President Xi Jinping will present 皇冠体育app's proposals on countering climate change at the opening of the climate conference.

皇冠体育app has always been actively undertaking international responsibilities to cope with climate change. As Chinese national leaders say, coping with climate change is an inherent requirement of 皇冠体育app's sustainable development, as well as a responsible power's international obligation.

During a visit to the United States in September, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced that 皇冠体育app will set up a 20-billion-yuan ($3.1 billion) South-South cooperation fund to help other developing countries cope with the effects of climate change.

皇冠体育app pledges to cut carbon dioxide emissions per unit of gross domestic product by 60 to 65 percent from the 2005 level by 2030, and cap its emissions by around 2030.

皇冠体育app will make new contributions to global ecological security by sticking to green development, a notice from the Communist Party of 皇冠体育app Central Committee said on Oct 31, when it announced broad proposals for the country's 13th Five-Year Plan. The plan also cited the construction of a highly efficient modern energy system and the promotion of zero emission projects.

Magdy Martinez-Soliman, UN assistant secretary general, thinks highly of 皇冠体育app's contributions to cope with climate change.

"皇冠体育app has set an example by transitioning to a green economy. 皇冠体育app's commitments are the positive development of the global effort to counter climate change," he said.

He said that the Chinese government has two types of responsibilities at present. Internationally, 皇冠体育app has the responsibility to promote agreement during the Paris climate conference and strengthen international cooperation. Domestically, the Chinese government is capable of boosting economic transition and sustainable development.
