Envoy calls for more joint efforts on climate action

Developed countries urged to increase fund support for Global South nations

China will push for more financial support from developed countries for Global South nations amid the climate crisis, and rather than sharing in the support thus gained, it will aid poor economies with funding and technology to beef up their capability to tackle global warming, said China's special envoy for climate change.

The envoy, Xie Zhenhua, made the remarks on Friday during an event themed on South-South climate cooperation at the China Pavilion on the sidelines of the 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, or COP28, in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.

For China and members of the Group of 77, benefit to one means benefit to all, whereas harm to one would mean harm to all, he said.
