China should come out with more measures to tackle climate change
The European Union may pressure Beijing to "scale up" its climate change commitments so that China can make considerable progress on its carbon emissions goals by 2025, says Jo Leinen, chairman of the European Parliament's delegation for relations with China.
The call for stronger action comes days after China and the United States announced new limits on CO2 emissions at the recent Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in the Chinese capital. In the deal, President Xi Jinping said China would make every effort to reduce its CO2 emissions from 2030.
