China's Basic Position for International Participation in Climate Change Conclusion Concluding Remarks Climate change is a global issue of universal concern to the international community. In recent years, extreme climate events such as hot summers, droughts, and floods have occurred frequently, and the impact of climate change has become increasingly apparent. It is the mainstream of the world today that all countries have joined hands to tackle climate change and jointly promote green and low-carbon development.

China is the world’s largest developing country, with a large population, lack of energy resources, complex climatic conditions, and fragile ecological environment. It has not yet completed the historical task of industrialization and urbanization, and its development is unbalanced. In 2010, the per capita GDP was just over 29,000 yuan. According to the poverty standards of the United Nations, there are still hundreds of millions of poor people. The task of developing the economy, eliminating poverty, and improving people's livelihood is very arduous. At the same time, China is one of the countries most vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. Global climate change has had a number of adverse effects on China’s economic and social development and has become a major challenge for sustainable development.

The Chinese government has always attached great importance to the issue of climate change and has taken active response to climate change as a major issue that has a bearing on the overall development of the economy and society, and has included the medium and long-term plans for economic and social development. In 2006, China proposed a binding indicator that the energy consumption per unit of GDP in 2010 fell by about 20% compared with 2005. In 2007, the first national program for developing and implementing climate change was established in developing countries, and in 2009, it was determined. By 2020, the greenhouse gas emissions per unit of GDP will be 40%-45% lower than in 2005.

In order to accomplish the above objectives and tasks, China has adopted a series of major policy measures to mitigate and adapt to climate change during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period (2006-2010), and has achieved remarkable results. The “Twelfth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of the People's Republic of China” formulated and implemented in 2011 established the policy orientation of green and low-carbon development in the next five years and defined the objectives and tasks for addressing climate change. In the international negotiations on climate change, China has always played an active and constructive role in pushing forward the negotiation process and made important contributions to coping with global climate change. In order to enable the international community to fully understand China's policies and actions to combat climate change during the “11th Five-Year Plan” period, as well as the positive results achieved and the overall deployment of climate change during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period and related negotiating stances, a special publication was made. .
