Zhenhua, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, wants developed countries to stop "bad checks" on financial and technical support for international online news (reporter Jangchul, Li Ningjing): The 15th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and the fifth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol, opened in Copenhagen, Denmark, 192 countries, including China, sent delegations to the meeting. Xie Zhenhua, deputy director of China's National Development and Reform Commission, said after attending the first day of the meeting that the Chinese government, like other developing countries, hoped that the meeting would achieve positive results. In a press conference held by the Chinese News Center on the same day, Xie was the first to show the Chinese government's position. "As our Chinese delegation to the Copenhagen Conference, we hope that the Copenhagen Conference will be the beginning of a new global response to climate change," he said. In other words, the Conference should make a number of decisions on the basis of the two-year negotiations on the (Kyoto) protocol to the (United Nations framework for Climate change) treaty. This is also in line with the mandate of the Bali Road map, which should result in substantive and legally binding negotiations in this regard, with a view to reaching an agreement in Copenhagen that is also a general requirement of developing countries. Xie also pointed out that some developed countries now want to cancel the Kyoto Protocol, but this is unacceptable to developing countries. "We must uphold the Convention, the Protocol and the Bali Road map, adhere to the dual-track approach, and make separate decisions on the Convention and the Protocol," he said. This is a very strong demand from developing countries. Some developed countries want to be able to integrate and cancel the Kyoto Protocol. If the Kyoto Protocol were to be abolished, there would be little substance to the ' common but differentiated ' responsibility. This is a struggle, the focus of disagreement, is a dual-track or two-rail integration, which is a focus of the struggle, so you see today's meeting all the developing countries group, all the statements are to adhere to the two-tier, to adhere to the Kyoto Protocol, which is a very fundamental requirement. "According to the previous agreement, developed countries should take the lead in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and developing countries should have the space for sustainable development," Xie said. "With the authorization of the Bali Roadmap, developed countries must take the lead in slashing emissions," Xie said. That is, through negotiations, to determine the extent to which the medium-term goals of the developed world are reduced by 2020, based on the recommendations and conventions of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). Developing countries must first develop and get out of poverty, which is the primary task, and the second is to achieve sustainable development, there must be a development or emissions of space. To do this, developed countries have to make more room for future development and emissions in developing countries. This time hope that they must make a commitment, in the end the developed countries to reduce how much, this is a problem that must be solved. "When it comes to coping with the gasIn the financial and technical aspects of the change, Xie said that the developed countries should make concrete commitments and actions in this respect, and no more "empty cheques" should be opened. "In accordance with the requirements of the Convention, the Protocol and the Bali Road map, developed countries should provide additional, adequate and sufficient financial and technical support to developing countries to help them mitigate and adapt and improve their capacity in the developing countries," he said. This is a clear requirement in the Convention. We have negotiated for many years, and so far, the developed countries have not made substantive commitments and concrete actions in the financial and technical sense, and the developing countries are very dissatisfied with this. So this meeting must solve the rich countries in the end how much money, what this money to do, how to manage, how to achieve financial support and technology transfer requirements, rather than in the past to say a word, a bad cheque, to the end is not implemented. Xie also briefed the developing countries, including China, India, Brazil and South Africa, on initiatives taken to reduce emissions. In his view, that was a need for developing countries ' own development and a contribution to global development as a responsible State. He stressed that these measures were taken without financial and technical support and were not within the reporting, monitoring and verifiable scope of the international community, and were consistent with the requirements and mandate of the Bali Plan of action. Xie said: "China and the Group of 77 have put forward their own constructive proposals on mitigation, adaptation, finance, technology and forests, and it should be said that we have made great efforts to that end and that China has been playing an active and constructive role in facilitating the Copenhagen Conference to achieve positive results. In this regard, countries around the world, including some that are dissatisfied with China, cannot deny that the Chinese government has been playing an active and constructive role. That's what we've done in the past, and we're going to do it now, and in the future. ”
