Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday called on all parties to take stronger actions to jointly tackle climate challenge.

Xi made the remarks in a written statement for the World Leaders Summit at the 26th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP26) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Saying that the adverse impacts of climate change have become increasingly evident and present a growing urgency for global action, he stressed adhering to multilateralism, taking practical action and accelerating green transformation. 

When it comes to global challenges such as climate change, multilateralism is the right prescription, Xi said, stressing the importance of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and its Paris Agreement. 

"Visions will come true only when we act on them," he added. 

"Developed countries should not only do more themselves, but should also provide support to help developing countries do better," he said. 

As for green transition, Xi noted that countries should advance innovations in science and technology, upgrade energy and resources sectors as well as the industrial structure and consumption pattern. 

Noting about China's aim to have CO2 emissions peak before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060, he said that China will continue to prioritize ecological conservation and pursue a green and low-carbon path to development. 

Specific implementation plans for key areas such as energy, industry, construction and transport, and for key sectors such as coal, electricity, iron and steel, and cement will be rolled out, coupled with supporting measures in terms of science and technology, carbon sinks, fiscal and taxation policies, as well as financial incentives, he said. 

"These measures will form a '1+N' policy framework for delivering carbon peak and carbon neutrality, with clearly-defined timetable, roadmap and blueprint," he noted.
