China backs India on emissions cut stance

Beijing, Dec 3

China Thursday said it supported Indian measures to curb greenhouse gas emissions and was ready to strengthen cooperation with India on climate change.

"We understand the current situation in India. China supports India to take adaptation and mitigation measures based on its national conditions and capacity," Xinhua reported quoting Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang.

"China is ready to strengthen communication, coordination and cooperation with India on climate change," he said.

India announced Thursday that the country will significantly reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by cutting the emission intensity by 20 to 25 percent.

"China and India are both developing countries and victims of climate change. The two countries do not have the obligation to binding emission reduction targets on climate change," he said.

Last week, China announced it is going to reduce the intensity of carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP in 2020 by 40 to 45 percent compared with the level of 2005.
