🌐 After a marathon of negotiations, the UN Climate Change Conference in Baku wraps up with a groundbreaking pact!
Hey climate warriors! After two intense weeks (and an extra 30 hours 😅), officials from around the globe have finally wrapped up the UN Climate Change Conference in Baku, Azerbaijan. And guess what? They've agreed on some major moves to tackle climate change together! 🌍🤝
The conference ended with over 20 decisions aimed at implementing key climate agreements like the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol, and the Paris Agreement. These decisions come together as the Baku Climate Solidarity Pact—how cool does that sound? ✨
Show Me the Money! 💰
In a big win for climate action, developed countries committed to a finance target of at least $300 billion annually by 2035. Plus, there's a goal to mobilize at least $1.3 trillion per year to support developing countries in their climate efforts. That's a whole lot of green for going green! 🌱💚
Market Magic 🪄
They also finalized the operational rules for the international carbon market under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. This means smoother trading of carbon credits and more incentives for reducing emissions globally. Talk about leveling up our game against climate change! 🆙🔥
China Steps Up 🇨🇳
The Chinese delegation was super active throughout the conference—participating in all the negotiations and hosting 10 themed days at the China Pavilion. They showcased cool initiatives and shared experiences with other countries. Sharing is caring, right? 🤗
China is calling on all countries to stick together and uphold multilateralism. They emphasize the principle of \"common but differentiated responsibilities\" to ensure everyone plays their part without rolling back on the Paris Agreement. Let's keep moving forward! 🚀
\"As a responsible major developing country, China will steadfastly promote the multilateral process and international cooperation on climate change, regardless of how the global landscape evolves,\" said Zhao Yingmin, head of the Chinese delegation and vice minister of ecology and environment.
Zhao also highlighted that China will keep pushing towards its carbon peaking and neutrality goals and engage in South-South climate cooperation. They're all in for a greener, low-carbon, and sustainable future! 🌳✨
The Road Ahead 🛣️
With these new agreements, the global momentum towards a green and low-carbon transition just got a major boost. It's like we've just hit the nitro button on our race against climate change! 🏎️💨 Let's keep the energy high and work together for a better planet. 🌟
