Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, December 7 (Reporters Wu Yue and Ma Zhuoyan) In response to the unprovoked allegations by US Under Secretary of State Clarke about China’s ecological and environmental protection, the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Foreign, Hua Chunying, said in a regular press conference on the 7th that some American politicians repeat lies that have long been squashed by the facts. The real purpose is to deny China’s achievements in environmental protection and climate change, in an attempt to discredit China’s international image, cover up its own destructive environment, and hamper the process of international environmental governance. It is the United States that truly “leads” in destroying the environment.
Hua Chunying said the fact is that China has achieved its 2020 climate action goals ahead of schedule and has surpassed it. The share of non-fossil energy in China’s total energy consumption has risen to 15.3%, installed renewable energy capacity has accounted for 30% of the world total, accounting for 44% of the global increase, and the amount of new energy vehicles has accounted for more than half the world. Since 2000, a quarter of the world’s new green area has come from China. China will also increase its independent national contribution, adopt more powerful policies and measures, strive to peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030, and strive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. This in itself further reflects the willingness to China to work with other countries to build a clean and beautiful world and its responsibility to build a community with a shared future for humanity.
He said that China has been actively participating in global climate governance, is the first group of signatories to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and has made important contributions to achieve the Kyoto Protocol, the Paris Agreement and its rules. of implementation. Fabius, president of the French Constitutional Council, former foreign minister and later president of the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Paris, wrote a few days ago that “China has played, is and continues to play a role in the indispensable fight against climate change”. With active support, the Paris Agreement will not be reached. “
“The United States is obviously too ‘modest’ when it comes to environmental damage, and it is the United States that really ‘leads’ in this regard.” Hua Chunying said that, like the global cumulative emission of greenhouse gases, the United States has not ratified the Kyoto Protocol. “, and withdrew from the” Paris Agreement “, denied its own binding quantitative emission reduction tasks, refused to take measures to protect the earth’s homeland, completely separated from the global emissions reduction system and agreements, seriously hampering reducing global emissions and promoting green and low-carbon development and other related processes. The United States is the world’s largest exporter of solid waste and a major per capita consumer of plastics, but it refuses to ratify the Basel Convention, which it hinders the global process of plastic waste management and transfers a large amount of waste to developing countries for local purposes and The global environment has caused great damage.
“The United States should look in the mirror first, fix its clothes, bow and introspection, and not let the wicked complain first,” Hua Chunying said.
