China Daily | Updated: 2007-09-28 07:09

Developed nations shouldn't ignore the great efforts China and other developing countries have put in to tackle climate change, ministers from China, Brazil, Mexico and Portugal said in Washington on Wednesday.

Despite the main task of alleviating poverty, "China is making great efforts to reduce energy consumption by improving efficiency and increasing the use of renewable energy," National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) Vice-Minister Xie Zhenhua said.

"The overall goal is to reduce energy consumption per unit of GDP by 20 percent from the 2005 base by 2020. Also, we are working to increase renewable energy use to 10 percent by 2010 and increasing forest cover to 20 percent," Xie said at a forum sponsored by US think tank Center for Clean Air Policy (CCAP).
