China pledges to achieve cuts to greenhouse gases

Agreement at Paris climate change summit should be 'ambitious, strong, legally binding'

China will ensure the fulfillment of its pledges for cutting greenhouse gas emissions that it submitted to the United Nations, regardless of the outcome of the Paris climate summit, China's climate officials said.

More than 80 world leaders will attend a summit in Paris to set a global framework to combat climate change, a summit that the French government said will go ahead as scheduled despite the latest terrorist attacks.
