Climate forum paves way to Cancun meet

BEIJING - China will use a three-day meeting on climate change as a platform for public diplomacy to show the world its sincerity in reducing carbon emissions.

The event will also serve to strengthen climate change talks and help the Cancun conference - scheduled for the end of the year - achieve a legally-binding document, a top policy advisor has said.

From Friday, about 20 climate change and environmental ministers from such countries as Denmark, Germany and Mexico will join 600 officials, experts and entrepreneurs worldwide at a high-level climate change forum in Beijing.
