President Xi Greenhouse Gas Emissions "Efforts to Really Zero by 2060" September 23, 21:56
In the general debate speech Xi Jinping Jintao of the United Nations General Assembly of China, expressed the emissions of greenhouse gases that are causing global warming as "an effort to be able to realize a substantial zero to up to 2060", global warming It seems that the aim is to appeal the difference from the Trump administration in the United States, which is reluctant to take measures.
In a video speech broadcast at the United Nations General Assembly on the 22nd, President Xi emphasized his stance of complying with the "Paris Agreement," which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to virtually zero in the latter half of this century. "China's emissions will peak by 2030, and we will strive to achieve virtually zero by 2060."
Regarding climate change measures, US President Trump said in a video speech at the UN General Assembly broadcast prior to President Xi, "China's emissions are nearly double that of the United States and are increasing at a fast pace." I was criticizing.
Regarding the long-term goals announced by President Xi, China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a press conference on the 23rd that "it will be a strong counterattack against the unjustified criticism and attacks of the United States against China." Seems to be aimed at appealing the difference from the Trump administration, which is reluctant to take measures against climate change, such as announcing withdrawal from the Paris Agreement.
