China backs G20 goal to triple global renewable energy by 2030

China supports the initiative by G20 countries to triple global renewable energy capacity by 2030, said Xie Zhenhua, China's special envoy for climate change.

He also said during a news conference on Saturday on the sidelines of the 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, or COP28, that the world cannot forge ahead with energy transition without considering countries' differing conditions.

COP28, which is being held in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, opened on Nov 30 and is scheduled to conclude on Tuesday.
