COP26 President-Designate Alok Sharma will travel to China from 5 – 7 September for meetings with senior representatives from the government and business. The visit follows a series of virtual engagements the COP President has had with China, including China’s participation in a recent July Ministerial in London.
Alok Sharma said:
“The recent IPCC report was clear that human activity is responsible for the climate change the world is experiencing, and unless we collectively take action in this decisive decade, we are heading for climate catastrophe.
“As the biggest emitter in the world, responsible for a quarter of all emissions, what China does on climate action absolutely matters.
“China clearly sees the economic and environmental opportunities a green future presents and Chinese climate leadership is going to be vital if we are to safeguard our planet for future generations.
“I welcome China’s commitment to climate neutrality by 2060 and look forward to discussing China’s policy proposals towards this goal, its plans for submitting an enhanced 2030 emissions reduction target, as well as how we work towards a successful multilateral outcome at COP26.”
