BEIJING, Nov 2 — China said today that President Xi Jinping was not given an opportunity to deliver a video address to theXi, who is not attending the UN meeting in person, delivered ato the opening “high-level segment for heads of state and government” yesterday in which he offered no additional pledges, while urging countries to keep their promises and “strengthen mutual trust and cooperation”.
A UK government spokesperson said Britain wanted people to attend COP26 in person so leaders could not joint virtually. They can only offer recorded addresses or statements. But Beijing has said it has already made a number of major pledges in the past year, promising to bring emissions to a peak by 2060, raise total solar and wind capacity to 1,200 gigawatts by 2030 and curb coal use starting in 2026.
Beijing has rejected Washington’s efforts to separate climate from wider conflicts between the two sides, with senior diplomat Wang Yi telling US climate envoy John Kerry in September that there was still a “desert” threatening the “oasis” of climate cooperation.
