Country has 'key role' on climate

The two-week UN conference on climate change in Poland will not only be given an insight into China's active role in negotiations, but also a better understanding of what the country is doing in the fight against global warming

Li Yan, of the Greenpeace Beijing office, told China Daily from Poznan yesterday: "China is playing an increasingly leading role among developing countries, especially in trying to get funds and the transfer of technology to fight climate change."

The forum of the 192-member UN Framework Convention on Climate Change follows on from initiatives launched by the international community in Bali a year ago.
