China announces new climate goal to cut emissions
China, the world’s largest carbon-polluting nation, has announced a new climate fighting goal to cut emissions by 7% to 10% by 2035.
In a video address to the United Nations high-level climate summit on Wednesday, Chinese President Xi Jinping told his fellow leaders that the world’s second-largest economy, which has long seen its carbon pollution soar, will finally reduce the emissions of the gases that cause global warming and extreme weather.
