MARRAKECH, Morocco, Nov. 16 -- China on Wednesday called for faster fulfillment of commitments already made for climate actions before 2020, urging developed countries to revisit and increase their emission cut ambitions.
"All parties should speed up the delivery of their pre-2020 commitments in order to build mutual trust as the basis for the post-2020 implementation of the Agreement and enhanced actions," Xie Zhenhua, China's special representative on climate change affairs, told a United Nations conference, referring to the historic Paris Agreement.
"Parties concerned must accelerate the ratification of the Doha Amendment on the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol," Xie said.
"The developed countries must revisit and increase their emission reduction ambitions under the Convention or in the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol," the envoy said.
He was referring to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
"They must deliver on their commitments towards the developing countries in the areas of finance, technology and capacity building," Xie said.
Xie expressed the hope that the Facilitative Dialogue on the pre-2020 actions can achieve substantive outcomes which will provide pragmatic and effective solutions to the pre-2020 enhanced actions on emission reduction, adaptation, finance, and technology.
He urged the developed countries to truly honor the commitment of providing 100 billion U.S. dollars per year to developing countries by 2020.
