In line with the idea of building a community of shared future for mankind, China will continue to play its part in the global governance of environmental issues, said Chinese President Xi Jinping in his speech at the United Nations Summit on Biodiversity on Wednesday.

Xi said that China has already accomplished its 2020 climate change goals, fulfilling its responsibilities concerning climate change, biodiversity and other environmental issues.

The Chinese president said China aims to reach the peak carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, so as to make greater contributions to the goal set out by the Paris Agreement on climate change.
