China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a daily press briefing on Tuesday that China hopes that the developed countries can shoulder their historical responsibilities and deliver on their commitments at an early date.
Mao made the remarks in response to a reporter's question about a recent study.
The study, led by the University of Leeds and published in the journal Nature Sustainability, points out that almost 90 percent of the excess carbon emissions are down to the wealthy Global North (the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Israel). Also, it calculates that the rich industrialized countries responsible for excessive levels of greenhouse gas emissions could be liable to pay $170 trillion in climate reparations by 2050 to low-emitting countries to ensure targets to curtail climate breakdown.
Mao also said that developed countries need to step up financial, technological and capacity-building support for developing countries, and work for substantive progress in global climate governance.
She added that China is a doer in ecological conservation and climate governance. China 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 the Green Belt and Road and South-South cooperation.
