The World Leaders Climate Action Summit opened in Brazil this week, drawing global leaders to address urgent climate challenges. Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang, attending as President Xi Jinping's special representative, emphasized the need for international cooperation in green technology and industrial innovation during his keynote address.
Xi's Vision for a Sustainable Future
President Xi Jinping, a consistent advocate for climate governance, has repeatedly highlighted the importance of global collaboration. "Climate change is a common challenge for humanity," Xi stated in 2021. "We must uphold multilateralism and foster a community of life for humans and nature."
Green Transition as a Global Priority
Xi has championed green development as integral to economic resilience. "Green mountains and clear water are as valuable as mountains of gold and silver," he remarked during a 2020 environmental forum, underscoring China's commitment to balancing ecological preservation with growth.
Technology and Equity in Climate Action
At the 2022 UN Climate Change Conference, Xi urged developed nations to lead emissions reductions while supporting developing countries. "We must accelerate green tech innovation and ensure climate justice," he asserted, advocating for inclusive solutions to bridge global disparities.
As the summit continues, Xi's calls for unity and sustainable practices remain central to discussions shaping Asia's role in global climate strategies.
