SHANGHAI - French President Emmanuel Macron and Chinese President Xi Jinping will sign a pact that includes wording on the"irreversibility" of the Paris climate accord, an official from the French presidential office said on Tuesday .

The move is part of a broader strategy by Mr Trump to reduce red tape on American industry, but comes at a time scientists and many world governments urge rapid action to avoid the worst impacts of global warming. "We regret this and this only makes the Franco-Chinese partnership on the climate and biodiversity more necessary," the official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said.

China and France pledged at this year's G20 summit to"update" their contributions against climate change beyond their current ones to reflect"their highest possible ambition".
