The developed countries should take the lead in reducing greenhouse gas
emissions that are blamed for global warming and climate change, China said in a
white paper issued today.
In the white paper titled "China's Policies and
Actions for Addressing Climate Change", China stated that the developed nations
also should provide financial support and transfer technologies to help the
developing countries fight against global warming.
The developing countries,
while developing their economies and fighting poverty, should actively adopt
measures to adapt to climate change, reduce their emissions to the lowest degree
and fulfill their duties in addressing climate change, according to the white
paper.
"The Chinese government pays high attention to climate change," Xie
Zhenhua, vice director of the National Development and Reform Commission, told a
press briefing in Beijing.
