China wants to lead Climate Change in Copenhagen
November 26, 2009
A great news coming today from China. For the first time China has unveiled its first firm target for limiting greenhouse gas emissions, two weeks before a global summit on climate change in Copenhagen.
Beijing said it would aim to reduce its “carbon intensity” by 40-45% by the year 2020, compared with 2005 levels. This announcement came just after a very shy Obama’s announcement which would offer to cut US emissions by 17% from 2005 levels by 2020.
The two giants of the Planet will fight not only for the most powerful economy rank but now for green leadership at The Copenhagen UN summit – between 7-18 December…A fantastic move which expects more optimistic outcome for 2010. Environment is not the enemy of the Economy ,it is a joint adventure!

Got something to say?
Yeah great moove ! after doing in 10 years what took us a century to destruct.
And what a great way to avoid attention on their outrageous human right record and political oppression. What about Tibet and africa that they control and squeeze with an iron hand !
Red blood behind a Green smile…
I am not impressed…
Cedric.Unfortunately Obama’s administration is not going to lead the post kyoto protocol as they have promised during the Election campaign. Even if it s a baby step from China, it s a step forward to the good direction and more surprizing coming from the worst polluter of the planet.I agree much much more to be done to reach the 40% reduction and not a ridiculous 3% as proposed Obama.It will be a long journey and everyone can contribute to make it happened
