PRESIDENT Hu Jintao said yesterday China was committed to fighting climate change both at home and in cooperation with the world. Hu was addressing a study meeting attended by members of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee.
"We must fully recognize the importance, urgency and difficulty of dealing with climate change," Hu said. "We must make it an important strategy for our socio-economic development."
The government said some areas of the country were already seeing the effects of climate change, with higher temperatures and reduced rainfall in some parts and stronger storms in others.
China has pledged to cut the amount of carbon dioxide produced for each unit of economic growth by 40-45 percent by 2020, compared with 2005 levels. Hu said energy saving, emission cuts and environmental awareness must be inculcated into Chinese society as a whole.
"We must actively participate in global cooperation to fight climate change," he said
