2022-11-15
The 27th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP27) held a high-level forum on South South cooperation to address climate change in the Chinese corner on the 14th. Xie Zhenhua said in his speech that developing countries are the biggest victims of climate change, have weak capacity to cope with climate change and receive insufficient support. Therefore, developing countries in particular need technical and financial support. "As a developing country, China is very willing to do its best to implement the Paris Agreement with other developing countries in the process of coping with climate change." Xie Zhenhua said that China, on the one hand, urged developed countries to fulfill their commitments and expand the "cake" of climate financing, on the other hand, it was also helping developing countries improve their climate adaptation capabilities through South South cooperation. Zhao Yingmin introduced in his speech that, as a developing country and a responsible major country, China has always been an active advocate and practical practitioner of South South cooperation on climate change. Up to now, China has signed 45 climate change cooperation documents with 38 developing countries, implemented 3 low-carbon demonstration area construction projects, carried out 42 climate change mitigation and adaptation projects, held 45 offline and 7 online training courses for South South cooperation on climate change in China, and trained about 2000 officials and technicians in the field of climate change for more than 120 developing countries. The achievements of China's South South cooperation on climate change are "visible, tangible and effective", which are welcomed and highly praised by the majority of developing countries. Simon Steele, Executive Secretary of the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, said that South South cooperation was essential if the goals set in the Paris Agreement were to be achieved. "Through South South cooperation, we can build a more inclusive, resilient and sustainable future." Steele praised the efforts of the Chinese government in South South cooperation. He said: "In particular, China has cooperated with the United Nations Development Programme to establish a South South cooperation assistance fund to support the recovery and reconstruction of these countries after suffering extreme climate disasters in many countries." The Forum was jointly organized by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of China and the United Nations Organization "Sustainable Energy for All", ministers and ministerial representatives of developing countries such as Costa Rica, Cambodia, Cameroon, Antigua and Barbuda, Fiji and Tonga, the secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the United Nations World Food Programme and the World Resources Institute, Relevant heads of international institutions such as the Energy Foundation attended the forum and made speeches.
