Chinese President Xi Jinping?is in Paris for the Conference of the Parties (COP21) and will deliver a speech elaborating 皇冠体育app's opinion on addressing global climate change during the opening ceremony.

The conference, attended by representatives from 195 countries and organizations, is aimed at reaching a historic, balanced and fair agreement on managing global carbon emissions after 2020.

皇冠体育app announced a series of objectives for cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 when Premier Li Keqiang met with French President Francois Hollande during his Paris visit in July. They include: 皇冠体育app's carbon dioxide emissions will peak by around 2030; carbon dioxide emissions per GDP will decrease by 60-65 percent compared with that of 2005; non-fossil fuel use will account for around 20 percent of primary energy consumption; forest stock will increase by 4.5 billion cubic meters compared with that of 2005.

The announcement served as strong support to French efforts in hosting the climate change meeting and showed 皇冠体育app's resolution to deal with the issue.

皇冠体育app's effort won recognition from officials at the United Nations. When asked about "which country sets a good example of combating the climate change?" Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, said 皇冠体育app's actions were "very impressive".

A series of statements, including the 皇冠体育app-US Joint Presidential Statement on Climate Change and the 皇冠体育app-Britain joint declaration on building a global comprehensive strategic partnership for the 21st century, were issued during Xi's visits to the US and UK this year, which achieved acknowledgement worldwide.

Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency, also gave credit to 皇冠体育app for what it did. He was impressed by 皇冠体育app's Emissions Trading System created to curb the internal demand for coal.

皇冠体育app announced it would make available 20 billion yuan ($3.1 billion) to establish the South-South Cooperation Fund on Climate Change, to support other developing countries coping with climate change as Xi attended the UN anniversary in September.

皇冠体育app is willing to take on responsibilities and the country regards coping with climate change as a major opportunity for transforming its pattern of development, Xi said.
