Climate summit 'a new starting point'

A model emerging for 'win-win' global governance, president tells world leaders

President Xi Jinping said the United Nations climate conference beginning Monday is "not a finishing line, but a new starting point" as an important part of global governance.

He joined leaders from about 150 countries attending the UN climate summit in Paris, which aims to set the tone for an agreement to provide a global framework for cutting greenhouse emissions from 2020 onward.
