China to advance climate goals

Country will 'try its best' to tackle the issue with other developing nations

China will present its post-2020 goals for coping with climate change ahead of schedule, according to the nation's top climate official.

Xie Zhenhua, head of the Chinese delegation to the United Nations climate change talks in Lima, Peru, said China will announce its "intended nationally determined contribution" in the first quarter of next year, rather than in June.
