ChinaDaily > world
About fifty global leaders are expected to attend the One Planet Summit on Tuesday in Paris hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron to decide what steps to take after the US government left the Paris Climate Change Agreement.
China's Vice-Premier Ma Kai, as the special envoy of President Xi Jinping, will attend the gathering on finance in support of climate action, according to the Foreign Ministry.
The one-day event, on Dec 12, will take place on the anniversary of 197 countries adopting the Paris Agreement in 2015.
The politicians, business leaders and academics will discuss scaling-up finance for climate action, greening finance for sustainable business, accelerating local and regional climate action and strengthening policies for ecological and inclusive transition.
After signing Paris Agreement, China has consistently turned the international commitments into domestic action, which have been shown in its 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-20).
