China supports developing nations on climate change

Vice-minister highlights the urgent need for global adaptation to crisis

While promoting climate adaptation at home, China will continue to support other developing nations to adapt to the climate crisis, said Zhao Yingmin, vice-minister of ecology and environment.

Zhao, also head of the Chinese delegation to the COP28 United Nations climate change conference, made the remarks during a sideline event held at the China pavilion at the annual UN gathering on Wednesday.

The frequent extreme weather events caused by climate change have resulted in increasingly greater damage in China and around the world, he stressed.
