China and UN enter new era 75 years on

China and global climate change

China is among the first signatories to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, and played an important part in the conclusion of the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement.

Since the adoption of the Paris Agreement, China has worked actively for its ratification, entry into force and implementation worldwide.

At the 2018 UN Climate Change Conference in Katowice, China encouraged all parties to take a constructive approach and show flexibility, and put forward its solutions to key issues, thus playing an essential role in seeing the implementation rules of the Paris Agreement adopted as scheduled.

China supports the initiative of Secretary-General Guterres to convene a UN Climate Action Summit. As a co-lead of the Nature-Based Solutions, China is working closely with all other parties for a productive summit.
