CLIMATE CHANGE GOVERNANCE

I believe that if all parties work together with sincerity and confidence,
this conference will no doubt yield satisfying outcomes and live up to the
high expectations of the international community.

Distinguished Colleagues,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
A successful international agreement should not just address
immediate challenges, but more importantly, it should also present a
vision for the future. The Paris Agreement should focus on strengthening
global actions on climate change after 2020, and inject motivation into
global efforts to achieve sustainable development.
The Paris Agreement should facilitate meeting the goals of the
UNFCCC and chart a course for green development. The Agreement
should abide by the principles and rules set out in the UNFCCC and
contribute to its full and effective implementation. The Agreement
should not only effectively control rising atmospheric greenhouse gas
concentrations, but should also demonstrate the benefits of doing so and
establish incentive mechanisms to encourage countries to move toward
green, circular, and low-carbon development models that feature both
economic growth and effective responses to climate change.
The Paris Agreement should help concentrate global efforts and
encourage broad participation. The Agreement should urge countries
to join forces and make a concerted effort through its institutional
arrangements. Moving beyond the governmental level, the Agreement
should mobilize businesses, non-governmental organizations, and
resources at all levels of society in international cooperation on climate
change, thereby raising public awareness and creating a greater pool of
resources.
The Paris Agreement should help increase commitments to ensure
action. Obtaining financial and technological support and improving
response capacity are both essential for developing countries to be able
to address climate change. Developed countries should honor their
commitment to mobilizing US$100 billion each year until 2020 and
to providing stronger financial support for developing countries after
2020. In addition, it is also important that climate-friendly technologies
are transferred to developing countries to help them develop green
