The Paris Agreement is the first global "test", and China's "answer sheet" demonstrates its great responsibility as a major country

2023-12-15

The 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28) has completed its first global inventory since the entry into force of the Paris Agreement, comprehensively assessing the progress and gaps in global implementation of the Paris Agreement. Among them, the "answer sheet" submitted by China has attracted attention from all parties. "We should closely monitor China's progress without any bias... We all need to understand China's contribution to the world," said Fatih Birol, Director of the International Energy Agency. "The data is very clear that China has not only done excellent work domestically, but also made important contributions to the development of clean energy technologies and reducing technology costs for other countries in the world." Words must be kept and actions must be taken, and climate action is beyond doubt. "'Beautiful China 'is a very good concept because it conveys a positive vision," said Eric Solheim, former Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations and former Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme, in an interview with reporters. As the world's largest developing country, China has overcome its economic and social difficulties since joining the Paris Agreement, implemented a series of strategies, measures, and actions to address climate change, participated in global climate governance, and achieved positive results in addressing climate change. China has implemented a national strategy to actively respond to climate change. In 2020, it announced that it will increase its national independent contribution, adopt more powerful policies and measures, strive to peak carbon dioxide emissions before 2030, strive to achieve carbon neutrality before 2060, build a "1+N" policy system to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality, promote industrial, energy, and transportation structural adjustments, adopt a series of measures such as energy conservation and efficiency improvement, establish and improve market mechanisms, and increase forest carbon sinks to make positive progress in addressing climate change. On the one hand, actively mitigating climate change, and on the other hand, actively adapting to climate change. The recently released 2023 Annual Report on China's Policies and Actions to Address Climate Change shows that carbon emission intensity in 2022 has decreased by more than 51% compared to 2005, and non fossil fuels account for 17.5% of energy consumption. Data shows that China is actively promoting industrial structure adjustment, optimization and upgrading, and the production and sales of new energy vehicles have ranked first in the world for 8 consecutive years. As of the end of June 2023, the total number of new energy vehicles in China reached 16.2 million, accounting for more than half of the world's total. The development of non fossil energy is rapid. According to the China Electric Power Development Report 2023, the national power generation in 2022 was 8.7 trillion kilowatt hours, with non fossil energy generation reaching 36.2%. The level of clean utilization of fossil fuels is also constantly improving. The green and low-carbon development in the fields of transportation and urban-rural construction continues to advance, and the carbon sequestration capacity of the ecosystem continues to consolidate and improve. "I want to express my gratitude to the Chinese government for the support it has provided to Egypt in the past few decades," said Ahmad Mohammad Masina, Deputy Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy of Egypt. "China's plan is of great significance for global energy transformation and climate governance, providing feasible solutions for African and Arab countries to promote energy transformation, accelerate economic development, and improve the ecological environment.".
