In einer heute veröffentlichten Erklärung bekräftigen die EU und China ihr eindeutiges Eintreten für die Umsetzung des Übereinkommens von Paris und die Schaffung einer engeren Partnerschaft für Klimaschutz und den Übergang zur sauberen Energie.

EU and China push the global climate agenda

In a statement released today the EU and China reaffirm their unequivocal commitment to the implementation of the Paris Agreement and establish a closer partnership on climate action and the clean energy transition.

Commenting on the joint declaration, Wendel Trio, Director of Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe said:

“This statement is an important milestone to ensure the urgently needed substantial increase in global climate action. Building on the overachievement of their existing targets, and the momentum in the EU in support of going well beyond the Paris pledge, increased cooperation on climate action between the EU and China can propel the global zero carbon transition. We call upon the two countries to put their statements into action and scale up their respective Paris climate pledges in order to be able to reach the long term commitment of the Paris Agreement to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C.”
