United NationsAt the 28th climate summit, U.S. special envoy for climate John Kerry spoke about the worldMethaneThe initiative to reduce emissions means that 155 countries have joined the initiative. However, China has not yet participated in the signing of the agreement, which has aroused dissatisfaction and doubts in Western countries. Kerry notedMethaneEmissions have a significant impact on global warming, but funding for emissions reductions is still insufficient. In order to expandMethaneCountries around the world have not only raised more than $1 billion in new funding, but also set limitsOiland the bill on natural gas emissions. However, China, one of the world's largest emitters of greenhouse gases, has yet to sign the initiative.
It is worth noting that China is very interested in:MethaneThe issue of emissions already has its own plans and actions. Over the past decade, China** has taken a series of positive measures, such as proposing emission reduction targets and promotingClean energydevelopment, strengthening energy conservation and emission reduction, etc. According to statistics, China in the period from 2010 to 2020,MethaneEmissions fell by 30 percent, far exceedingInternationalThe average level of society. This fully shows that China has achieved remarkable results in reducing emissions, and has actively fulfilled themInternationalLiability.
China has always attached great importance to the issue of climate change and actively participated in global environmental governance. China** has repeatedly put forward emission reduction targets and plans, including achieving carbon peak before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060. At the same time, China has acceleratedClean energydevelopment, pushEnergy saving and emission reductionand other aspects have achieved positive results.
China recently released theMethaneEmission Control Action Plan", which introduces a series of measures in the fields of coal, oil and gas, agriculture, and municipal waste disposal. Xie ZhenhuaThe Special Envoy noted that this programme is for:MethaneThe control of emissions is of great guiding significance and is important for propulsionEconomyHigh-quality social development will also have an important impact. Xie ZhenhuaHe also said that China will gradually push forward with emission reduction work according to its national conditions and at its own pace. China's aim is to be sustainableMethaneLet's go.
So, China did not sign the globeMethaneThe commitment does not mean that China is indifferent to the issue of climate change. On the contrary, China is already inMethaneImportant results have been achieved in emission control, and we will continue to intensify efforts to strengthen emission reduction work and actively implement itInternationalresponsibility, and make greater contributions to global climate governance.
As a developing country, China needs to continue to developEconomyto improve people's livelihood.

Therefore, China's failure to sign the initiative does not mean that it is evading its responsibilities, but out of consideration for its own development needs and the actual situation of its national conditions.
Earlier this month, Kerry served as China's climate change envoyXie ZhenhuaMeeting, and heldMethaneEmissions Reduction Conference. After three days of negotiations, the two sides pledged to strengthen their efforts in the regionMethaneand support global renewables by 2030EnergyTriple the amount. This shows that China and the United States are inMethaneThere is a common willingness to cooperate on emission reduction, and a consensus has been reached.
In short, China did not sign up to the globeMethaneCommitment does not mean that climate change is not taken seriously. China is already inMethaneImportant results have been achieved in emission control, and we will continue to intensify efforts to reduce emissions and actively implement themInternationalLiability. And globallyMethaneEmission reduction targets also need to take into account the development needs and actual conditions of each country.
