Recently, U.S. Special Envoy for Climate John Kerry attended the 28th United Nations Climate Summit, and mentioned "global" at the venueMethaneCommitment" initiative. The initiative aims to reduceMethaneemissions, curbing global warming. So far, 155 countries** or regions have signed up to the initiative, including the European Union, Canada, Germany, Japan and others. However, it is interesting to note that China has not yet joined the initiative.
The United States and Western countries generally believe that China has not joined the "global."Methanecommitments" is due toEconomyGrow andEnergyPressure. However, China has proposed its own emission reduction targets and plans, and has implemented a series of aggressive policy measures over the past decade, with remarkable results. According to statistics, between 2010 and 2020, China,MethaneEmissions fell by 30%, exceedingInternationalThe average level of society. This shows that China has shouldered its due responsibility in global climate governance.
China has always attached great importance to the issue of climate change and actively participated in global environmental governance. China is accelerating its goals of peaking carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060Clean energydevelopment and strengtheningEnergy saving and emission reductionpositive results have been achieved.
Therefore, China did not sign the "globalMethane"Commitment" does not mean that we are not concerned about climate change, but because we take into account our own development needs and national conditions. Join the "GlobalMethanepromises" may be on ChinaEconomyDevelopment andIndustrial transformationUnnecessary constraints. As a developing country, China needs to continue to developEconomyto improve people's livelihood. China has formulated its own emission reduction plans and actions according to its national conditions, and has achieved important results.
ForMethaneChina and the United States reached a consensus position at a recent meeting and pledged to strengthen their efforts to reduce emissionsMethanecooperation. The two sides also support the goal of making the world renewable by 2030EnergyTriple the amount.
Prior to this, China had already released theMethaneEmission Control Action Plan", and a number of measures have been taken to control coal, oil and gas, agriculture, municipal waste treatment and other fieldsMethaneEmission. China said it would gradually step up its work at its own pace and adhere to sustainable development in accordance with its national conditionsMethaneLet's go.
All in all, China has made remarkable progress in reducing emissions, and will continue to step up its efforts to fulfill its responsibilitiesInternationalLiability. The United States and Western countries should see China's efforts and achievements in reducing emissions, rather than simply asking China to join the "world."MethaneCommitment".
As one of the world's largest emitters of greenhouse gases, China has made important contributions to reducing emissions. China has its own plans and actions to reduce emissions, and has formulated corresponding policies and measures according to its national conditions. China's aim is to adhere to sustainable emission reduction actions and make greater contributions to global climate governance.
Do not sign "Global."MethaneThe "pledge" does not mean that China is taking climate change lightly, but because China already has its own plans and measures to reduce emissions, and it has achieved remarkable results. We should recognize and support China's efforts to reduce emissions.
