BEIJING, June 28 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Hu Jintao is urging
the country to contribute further efforts to the global fight
against climate change.
Hu, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC)
Central Committee, made the remarks here on Friday at a group study
for the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee. The study
focused on global climate change and the country's ability to tackle
the issue.
"How we cope with climate change is related to the country's
economic development and people's practical benefits. It's in line
with the country's basic interests," he said.
He stressed, as a developing country, China should stick to the
responsibilities and principles listed in the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change and its Kyoto Protocol. He
hoped developed countries could step up efforts on emission
reduction and provide financial and technical support for developing
countries.
It was written in the 17th National Congress of the CPC report to
"give prominence to building a resource-conserving,
environment-friendly society in our strategy for industrialization
and modernization and getting every organization and family to act
accordingly."
Hu urged related organizations and companies to strive to reduce the
emission of greenhouse gases by optimizing energy management in a
scientific way. He mentioned methods such as promoting recycling
economy, increasing forest coverage, exploring water resources
scientifically and strengthening global cooperation.
He stressed to enhance the country's abilities to monitor, forecast
and withstand extreme natural disasters as a result of abnormal
weather.
"Our task is tough, and our time is limited. Party organizations and
governments at all levels must give priority to emission reduction
... and bring the idea deep into people's hearts," the president
said.
Hu urged Party organs and governments to add the handling of climate
change to their working agendas of local social and economic
development.
He also said scientists should accelerate their researches on
climate change and emission reduction, increase the adoption of
scientific improvements in technological innovations for the
reduction and enhance international cooperation in this field.
Luo Yong, a researcher with the National Climate Center under the
China Meteorological Administration, and Tsinghua University
Professor He Jiankun instructed the study and presented the findings
on the issue.
The hydrological and meteorological departments in the quake-hit
Sichuan Province issued a flood warning on Friday, forecasting the
summer flooding was likely to be the biggest in a decade and would
come at the beginning of July, earlier than in past years because of
the effect of abnormal rainfall in May.
