It had been hoped that 2020 would be the year the world got to grips with tackling the climate crisis.
But the coronavirus pandemic has delayed anticipated global negotiations.
Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly, Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday renewed his support for the Paris climate accord and called for a green focus as the world recovers from the COVID-19 crisis.
Xi announced that his country would effectively balance out its carbon emissions with measures to offset them before 2060. It is the first time the world’s biggest emitter of carbon dioxide has pledged to end its net contribution to climate change.
On Thursday, world leaders will try to get the talks back on track, against a backdrop of increased wildfires, floods and hurricanes, and disappearing polar ice.

Global warming is a lie.
why no one ever acknowledge the fact that China's industrial capacity serves the consumers of the world? the world must look beyond nationalism if it wants to tackle the climate change crisis.
basterds use right words .biggest polluter on Earth i.e. China.
2060 is 30 years too late
Trying to deflect attention away from the many problems the CCP have with the rest of the World-,I feel some sympathy for the Chinese people.
China…will kill everybody before 2050; China crisis is bigger problem than climate crisis
2060 is NOT soon enough. The problem of Climate Change needs to be tackled NOW.
Didn't USA want to drill in Alaska? Guess they don't think this is real
The world going down
There is nothing the ccp says which the world can trust
So china just saved us all. Good move after the covid-19
New goal of 2060? What happened to their previous goal of 2025????
What kind of BS have you been brainwashed with? There is no climate emergency. As we approach the peak of the 18,000 years of warming since the last ice age, there is more ice in both caps and Greenland now, than in last 5 years. By 2030 we’ll be well into global cooling and it will be cold, vey cold ‘coz the Sun is having a rest, no sunspots!!! Do your geophysics 😡
