Wen´s Quotes >>

"For developing countries, only those mitigation actions supported internationally will be subject to the MRV. The voluntary mitigation actions should not be subject to international MRV."

"China will continue to staunchly support the hosting country in its work and engage in close communications and coordination with all other sides for a best result."

"A dozen declarations are not worth one action, meaning action speaks louder than declaration.... We promise to make our action transparent. We promise the implementation of action."

"Negotiators should also try to reach a consensus on what documents to serve as a basis for negotiations, monitoring mechanisms, long-term goals and funding in order to reach a deal on climate change at the UN-led talks in Copenhagen."

"China´s commitment is not conditioned on or linked with commitments by any other countries, developed or developing alike, and China will fulfill it regardless of the outcome of the Copenhagen climate talks."

"The key to fighting climate change is to follow the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities."

"The Chinese government understands the particular situation and needs of underdeveloped countries, small island states and African countries on the issue of climate change and urges developed countries to support them in terms of technology, finance and capacity building."

"We can consider having language such as the increase in average global temperature ought not to exceed 2 degree Celsius as a long term goal for us to achieve."
