Climate envoy slams unjust funds demand

China Daily  

Liu Zhenmin, China's special envoy for climate change, speaks during the Methane and Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gases Summit at the COP29 climate conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, on Nov 12. Rather, it is the obligation of developed countries to support developing nations in this matter, said China's special envoy for climate change Liu Zhenmin during the ongoing COP29 climate conference. He also underscored China's consistent solidarity with other developing nations to ensure that developed countries come up with a specific climate finance target for the Global South during the event. While pointing out that climate negotiations are primarily reached between developed and developing countries, he highlighted China's duty as a major world power to safeguard the interests of the Global South.
