Beijing on climate: Developed nations have historical, moral responsibilities & legal obligations

ShanghaiEye魔都眼 China News Service: According to a recent study led by the University of Leeds and published in the UK journal Nature Sustainability, almost 90 percent of excess carbon emissions come from developed countries such as the US, who could be liable to pay USD 170 trillion in climate reparations to low-emitting countries to ensure targets to curtail climate breakdown are met, according to the researchers. What is your comment?
Mao Ning: This research proves that developed countries have historical responsibilities, legal obligations and moral responsibilities for climate change. They need to take a lead in drastically cutting their carbon emissions and reach net zero carbon emissions much earlier than 2050, and create space for developing countries’ sustainable development. Developed countries also need to provide support to developing countries in finance, technology and capacity-building. Regrettably, however, developed countries have yet to deliver on their promise of mobilizing USD 100 billion per year for climate action in developing countries — a promise made 14 years ago, and to offer a roadmap for doubling adaptation finance.
China is a doer in ecological conservation and climate governance. We will remain committed to working actively and prudently toward the goals of reaching peak carbon emissions and carbon neutrality, and provide support and help to fellow developing countries for climate response under the frameworks of green Belt and Road and South-South cooperation. We hope developed countries will shoulder their historical responsibilities, deliver on their commitments at an early date, step up financial, technological and capacity-building support for developing countries, and work for substantive progress in global climate governance.
