BEIJING, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao discussed the
actions that the international community should take against climate
change with other world leaders and elaborated China's stance on the
issue at the UN climate change conference in Copenhagen.
The following are quotable quotes of Wen on climate change:
ON CHINA'S TWO-DEGREE-TEMPERATURE-RISE GOAL:
"Priorities for developing countries are economic development and
elimination of poverty."
ON THE CHINESE MITIGATION ACTION COMMITMENT:
"It's nonnegotiable and unconditional."
ON THE BALI ACTION PLAN:
"For developing countries, only those mitigation actions supported
internationally will be subject to the MRV (Measurement, Reporting and
Implementation). The voluntary mitigation actions should not be
subject to international MRV."
ON CHINA'S REFUSAL OF INTERNATIONAL MONITORING:
"It is a matter of principle, the principle of common but
differentiated responsibilities."
ON TAKING ACTION AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE:
"A dozen declarations are not worth one action, meaning action
speaks louder than declaration," the premier said, calling for mutual
trust.
"Mutual trust is extremely important. We should not go for
suspicion. We should not go for confrontation. We should go for
cooperation."
ON THE DUAL-TRACK NEGOTIATION MECHANISM AT UN CLIMATE TALKS:
"This is in line with the authorization or mandate of the Bali
Road Map and certainly should be the basis of our negotiations."
