COP30 President Expects China to Set ‘Ambitious' Climate Targets
After a week of meetings in Beijing, the man running global climate negotiations this year says he expects China to set ambitious targets and help contribute to a successful summit even after the US abandoned the process.
Andre Correa do Lago, the president of this year's United Nations Conference of Parties, said he believes China is developing 'very ambitious' nationally determined contributions that it will publish in the months ahead. China and most other nations missed a February deadline to file the NDCs, which will set climate-related goals through 2035, shortly after President Donald Trump pulled the US out of the international effort to slow planetary warming.
