Why It Matters
COP31 was held in Antalya, Türkiye from November 9th to 20th. The international community focused on global climate governance and green transformation.
China News Service, November 11th. From November 9th to 20th, the 31st Conference of the Parties (COP31) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was held in Antalya, a city in southern Turkey. The conference attracted global attention. Many foreign media believe that China has made important contributions to addressing climate change. China actively participates in global climate governance and promotes global green development.
The British organization Dialogue Earth recently published an article stating that China is playing an increasingly important role in the global climate governance process and will have a profound impact on global climate action.
The article stated that relying on its industrial strategy, China has become a leading force in the global green technology and clean energy manufacturing fields. Currently, China plays a pivotal role in shaping the international clean energy market, influencing the climate and development visions of various countries, and safeguarding the Paris Agreement.
In its analysis, Reuters quoted data from research institutions and calculated that China's export of clean technologies and related investments to developing countries in 2025 would total US$132 billion, making its contribution to reducing carbon dioxide emissions far greater than that of other countries.
The report pointed out that China is promoting green transformation in developing countries. At the same time, the rapid development of China's manufacturing industry has also enabled developing countries to obtain renewable energy at lower costs.
For example, the report said that the solar panels imported by Pakistan from China can not only reduce emissions, but also provide cheap and reliable electricity to the local area.
The British "Carbon Briefing" website recently stated that with the arrival of COP31, the international community expects China to continue to provide Chinese solutions to global climate governance.
The report quoted experts as saying that Chinese companies have significantly reduced the costs of photovoltaics, batteries, and electric vehicles through technological innovation and large-scale production, and are leading the world in the promotion and application of related technologies.
The media pointed out in another article that the export of China's clean energy technology products has become a key force in promoting the global clean energy transformation, reducing costs in related fields, opening up new markets, and meeting rapidly growing demand.
The article also pointed out that China is also increasingly involved in the development of overseas clean energy projects, which also promotes global green development.
According to the British "Guardian" report, China actively participates in global climate governance and helps other developing countries promote green and low-carbon transformation.
Euronews and the Associated Press have noticed that a recent report released by the Finnish Research Center for Energy and Clean Air (CREA) shows that global demand for renewable energy has surged, and China's clean technology exports are making a significant contribution to global emissions reductions.
The report estimates that after the clean technology equipment exported from China is put into use in 2026, it is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 450 million tons per year, which is roughly equivalent to Brazil's annual fossil fuel emissions.
Turkey's "Today" and other media reported that Turkish Vice President Yilmaz said on the 9th local time that the world economy is undergoing an important transformation, of which green transformation is the key. China plays an important role in green development fields such as green technology, renewable energy, and electric vehicles, and has made positive contributions to the global green transformation. Turkey is actively promoting the 2053 net-zero emission goal and looks forward to deepening practical cooperation with China in the fields of new energy, energy storage systems, intelligent production, and sustainable infrastructure construction to jointly achieve sustainable development.
