China expects US to play due role on climate change
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-07-16 23:09 BEIJING: China hopes the United States will play its due role and shoulder its historical responsibility in responding to climate change, said Foreign Ministry Spokesman Qin Gang here Thursday. "We welcome the recent positive changes of the US government in its policy of climate change," Qin said, referring to US President Barack Obama's remarks earlier this month at the meeting with leaders of emerging economies in Italy.
"Our policy on the climate change issue is clear and constant, " Qin said, calling for adherence to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol. Qin urged developed economies to take a lead in cutting gas emissions after 2012, when the Kyoto Protocol will expire, and to offer funding and technologies to developing nations to deal with climate change. Developing countries could also adopt a strategy of sustainable development, he said. "The most important point is to insist on the principle of 'common but differentiated responsibilities' established by the UNFCCC, since it is the guideline of international cooperation to cope with the challenge," Qin Gang said. |
