delighted to introduce His Excellency
0:18
Xi Jinping, President of the People's
0:21
Republic of China.
0:27
Your Excellency Secretary General
0:29
Antonio Gutirez,
0:31
Your Excellency, President Luis Inasio
0:34
Lula D Silva. Colleagues, this year
0:37
marks the 10th anniversary of the Paris
0:39
Agreement.
0:42
A pivotal year for countries to submit
0:44
their new nationally determined
0:46
contributions.
0:49
Global climate governance is entering a
0:52
key stage.
0:54
I wish to share with you three points.
0:59
First, we must firm up confidence.
1:03
Green and lowcarbon transition is the
1:05
trend of our time.
1:08
While some country is acting against it,
1:12
the international community should stay
1:15
focused on the right direction.
1:18
remain unwavering in confidence,
1:21
unremitting in actions and unrelenting
1:25
in intensity
1:28
and push for formulation and delivery on
1:31
NDCs
1:33
with a view to providing more positive
1:36
energy to the cooperation on global
1:39
climate governance.
1:42
Second, we must live up to
1:44
responsibilities
1:46
in the course of global green
1:48
transition. Fairness and equity should
1:51
be upheld
1:52
and the right to development of
1:54
developing countries fully respected.
1:59
The transition should serve to narrow
2:02
rather than widen the north south gap.
2:07
Countries need to honor the principle of
2:10
common but differentiated
2:11
responsibilities
2:13
whereby developed countries should take
2:16
the lead in fulfilling emission
2:18
reduction obligations and provide more
2:21
financial
2:22
and technological support to developing
2:25
countries.
2:27
Third, we must deepen cooperation.
2:30
The world now faces a huge demand for
2:33
green development. It is important that
2:36
countries strengthen international
2:38
coordination in green technologies and
2:41
industries to address the shortfall in
2:44
green production capacity and ensure
2:47
free flow of quality green products
2:49
globally
2:52
so that the benefits of green
2:53
development can reach all corners of the
2:56
world.
2:58
Colleagues,
3:01
let me take this opportunity to announce
3:04
China's new NDC's as follows.
3:09
China will by 2035
3:13
reduce
3:14
economywide net greenhouse gas emissions
3:19
by 7%
3:21
to 10% from peak levels.
3:27
striving to do better.
3:30
Increase the share of non-fossil fuels
3:33
in total energy consumption
3:38
to over 30%.
3:43
Expand the installed capacity of wind
3:46
and solar power
3:50
to over six times the 2020 levels.
3:55
striving to bring the total to 3,600
4:00
gawatt.
4:02
Scale up the total forest stock volume
4:05
to over 24 billion cubic meters.
4:10
Make new energy vehicles the mainstream
4:14
in the sales of new vehicles.
4:18
expand the national carbon emissions
4:20
trading market to cover major high
4:24
emission sectors
4:27
and basically establish a climate
4:31
adaptive society.
4:35
These targets represent China's best
4:37
efforts based on the requirements of the
4:39
Paris Agreement.
4:42
Meeting these targets requires both
4:45
painstaking efforts by China itself and
4:49
a supportive and open international
4:51
environment.
4:54
We have the resolve and confidence to
4:57
deliver on our commitments.
5:02
Colleagues,
5:04
great visions require concrete actions.
5:08
Climate response is an urgent yet
5:11
long-term task.
5:14
Let's all step up our actions to realize
5:18
the beautiful vision of harmony between
5:20
man and nature and preserve planet
5:23
Earth, the place we call home. Thank
5:27
you.
5:35
I thank the president of China for his
5:38
statement and now welcome her excellency
5:41
Ursula Fonder Lion, president of the
5:43
European Commission to come to the
5:46
podium,
5:54
President Lula, Secretary General Gutes,
5:58
Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,
6:00
indeed 10 years have passed since we
6:02
adopted the Paris Agreement. And since
6:05
then, the world has changed. Let me give
6:08
you just three figures.
6:10
Since Paris, renewable energy has
6:13
increased by 140%.
6:17
Investment in clean energy has increased
6:19
by almost 80%.
6:22
And carbon pricing in countries has
6:25
doubled from 40 to 80. So the clean
6:29
transition is moving on and let me
6:32
assure you Europe will stay the course
6:35
on our climate ambition.
6:38
Our emissions are down nearly 40% since
6:42
1990.
6:44
They now represent only 6% of global
6:47
emissions.
6:49
We are on track to reach our 2030
6:52
target. That is to cut emissions by
6:55
minus 55%.
6:57
And I'm happy to announce that last week
7:01
member states agreed that our national
7:03
determined contribution would range
7:06
between 66% and 72%.
7:10
So work is advancing and we will
7:13
formally submit our NDC ahead of COP 30.
7:18
But in parallel we are also looking
7:21
ahead. We're working on a 2040 target of
7:25
a proposed 90% emission reduction. That
7:29
is our way to climate neutrality by
7:32
2050.
7:34
And my message is that the world can
7:37
count on European Union's continued
7:40
climate leadership.
7:43
My second point, we're doubling down on
7:46
global partnerships
7:48
because the question is no longer if the
7:51
transition will occur and how fast, but
7:54
who will benefit.
7:57
Europe's answer is clear. All countries
8:00
worldwide should reap the benefits,
8:03
especially the most vulnerables.
8:06
And that is why we will remain the
8:08
world's-
