China eyes green plan for 2030

The frequent occurrence of extreme weather conditions in China has caused an average of more than 2,000 deaths and up to 200 billion yuan ($32.8 billion) of direct economic loss every year since the 1990s, according to Beijing’s latest report on the nation’s climate change strategies. The report, released during the on-going United Nations Warsaw climate talks, outlines Beijing’s efforts to reduce human and economic losses from the impacts of climate change until 2020.

“Facing that urgency, we will deliver our promises in addressing climate threats,” said the head of China’s delegation, Xie Zhenhua, at a seminar in Warsaw on Monday. He said China is considering a roadmap to address climate threats until 2030 and a leading group of Chinese experts has finished a report. “We are still discussing the roadmap and report,” said Xie, who is also the vice-minister of the National Development and Reform Commission.

Xie explained China’s continued efforts during the Warsaw conference, which aims to make all parties deliver on promises made at previous UN conventions and push forward international efforts to tackle climate threats.
