In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fmprc.gov.cn\/wjbzhd\/202209\/t20220922_10769637.shtml\">his address<\/a> to the Informal Leaders\u2019 Roundtable on Climate Action at the UN, Wang Yi said that developed countries should meet their carbon neutrality targets far ahead of schedule to create room for poorer countries that still need the carbon budget for development. He emphasised that this is essential for rebuilding \u201cNorth\u2013South trust\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Xie was more blunt in his video <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mee.gov.cn\/ywdt\/hjywnews\/202209\/t20220922_994590.shtml\">conference<\/a> with his German counterpart Jennifer Morgan a day later. \u201cSome European countries are backtracking on their climate policy. We hope this is just a temporary stopgap,\u201d he reportedly told the German side at the meeting. He also underscored the multitude of uncertainties and challenges facing global governance and urged all sides to take positive action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The addresses offer a preview of likely exchanges between China and other major emitters at the UN\u2019s COP27 climate conference to be held from Nov 6\u201318 in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. Negotiators are expected to review the ambition level of the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets of countries that are meant to collectively deliver the objective of the Paris Agreement to halt global temperature rise to below 2C or even 1.5C. The Egyptian presidency has <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/climate\/what-is-cop27-this-years-crucial-climate-talks-explained\/#h-what-are-the-egyptian-presidency-s-priorities-for-cop27\">explicitly warned<\/a> that countries should \u201cavoid backsliding on commitments and pledges despite the multiple challenges and crises, in particular energy crisis.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Wang Yi\u2019s speech at the UN roundtable, he stressed that the 30-year span between China\u2019s 2030 carbon peaking target and the 2060 carbon neutrality goal is the \u201cshortest in world history\u201d and \u201cwill achieve the world\u2019s largest reduction in carbon intensity.\u201d He also reminded fellow world leaders that China has overachieved on its 2020 targets and has already updated its 2030 NDC targets (in 2021), suggesting limited room for China to further raise ambitions at a time when developed countries are struggling to meet their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Read China Dialogue\u2019s <\/em><a
