China faces challenges in controlling greenhouse gas emissions because the aion money country has a large population and relatively low economic development level and is at a critical period in accelerating industrialization and urbanization, Xie told a press conference held by the State Council Information Office last night.
China's official delegate at the Copenhagen meeting, Lu Xuedu, said the announcement was a sign of Beijing's commitment because UN climate treaties do not require developing countries, such as China, to agree to binding targets but urge rich countries to shoulder the responsibility.
"The target shows China's utmost political commitment to reach a successful deal in aion account Copenhagen," said Lu, who is deputy director of the National Climate Center.
He said the undertaking was very ambitious. But he added that for it to be within reach, China would need technological and financial support from developed countries.
Yang Ailun, Greenpeace China's climate change campaign manager, said Wen's presence at the summit will be an "important push" for substantial outcomes from the international negotiations.
"The carbon intensity target is a positive signal that China, the largest developing country and one of the largest greenhouse gas emitters, is willing to take a new aion gold development path that can decouple economic growth with increase of carbon emissions," Yang said.
Yang from Greenpeace said China's announcement shows other countries the kind of commitment that is needed.
"This is another challenge to the industrialized world, particularly the US, which has just announced an inadequate emissions reduction target of only 4-5 percent (from the 1990 level) by 2020," said Yang.
Climate scientists hope the US and other developed countries will cut emissions by at least 25 percent to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2020 and reduce aion kina emissions by 80-95 percent by 2050. Only then does the world have a hope of averting catastrophic or runaway climate change.
