Los Angeles, September 27 (Xinhua) — China's statements and actions on climate change enhance its credibility in this important area, Clifford Cobb, a prominent American sustainability scholar and vice president of the American Institute for Postmodern China Studies, said in an interview with Xinhua on Thursday.
As a reminder, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced at the UN Climate Action Summit that China will have largely created a climate-adapted society by 2035.
According to him, by 2035, the country will reduce net economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 7-10 percent compared to peak levels, aiming to do better; increase the share of renewable energy in total energy consumption to more than 30 percent; expand the installed capacity of wind and solar power plants more than sixfold compared to 2020, aiming to reach 3,600 GW; increase the total timber stock in forests to more than 24 billion cubic meters; make new energy vehicles the leaders in new car sales; expand the national carbon trading market to cover key high-emitting industries, and overall create a climate-resilient society.
Cobb noted that climate change remains one of the most pressing global challenges, and China's leadership in this area is attracting increasing attention worldwide. Current efforts reflect China's long-term commitment to shaping a shared future in which people and the planet thrive together, he added.
Cobb also stressed the need for closer international cooperation, calling for joint global action to combat climate change and protect humanity's shared future. –0–
