At the climate conference, Xi envisioned a new globally binding agreement that would promote the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change beyond 2020. Beijing has urged the developed world to fulfill its commitment to mobilizing resources both before and after 2020 to support developing countries adapt to and combat climate change. Also, Beijing will contribute $3 billion to "China Climate South-South Cooperation Fund" to exemplify its leadership in this regard.
