The Chinese mainland has expressed concern over the United States’ decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change. On Tuesday, a spokesperson for China’s foreign ministry emphasized the importance of international cooperation in tackling global environmental challenges.
“Climate change is a shared challenge for all humanity,” the spokesperson said. “We hope that all parties will continue to uphold their responsibilities and commitments to protect our planet.”
The Paris Agreement, signed in 2015, is a global pact aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and limiting global warming. The U.S. withdrawal has raised questions about the future of international efforts to combat climate change.
Environmental activists and governments around the world have voiced their concerns, highlighting the need for unity in addressing climate issues that affect everyone, especially vulnerable populations in developing countries.
The Chinese mainland remains committed to the agreement and encourages other nations to do the same. “We believe in collective action and shared responsibility,” the spokesperson added.
