China Urges Developed Nations To Lead Energy Transition

POSTED ON December 30, 2023 •   Energy      BY Segun Adewole

Delivering an address at the UN Climate Summit in Dubai on Wednesday, China emphasized the imperative for developed nations to assume a leadership role in the global energy transition and promptly extend financial support to developing countries.

Chinese Vice Environment Minister Zhao Yingmin underscored the historical responsibility borne by developed countries in the realm of climate change. In a clear call to action, he asserted, "Developed countries have an unshakable, historical responsibility for climate change and therefore must take the lead to embark on the 1.5-degree Celsius pathway ahead of the rest of the world."

The statement echoes China's commitment to urging the global community to prioritize climate initiatives, emphasizing the urgency of concerted efforts to curb the impact of climate change. Zhao's remarks at COP28 highlight the critical role that developed nations play in steering the world towards a sustainable and resilient future.

Central to China's message is the call for immediate financial support to be extended to developing nations. The emphasis on delivering aid "without delay" emphasizes the urgency of addressing the climate crisis and mitigating its effects on vulnerable regions.

As the international community gathers to deliberate on climate action, China's stance positions the responsibility squarely on the shoulders of those with historical contributions to the climate predicament. The call for developed nations to lead by example in the pursuit of the 1.5-degree Celsius target signals a critical juncture in the ongoing efforts to address the global climate crisis.
