　　OnAt the opening ceremony of the Climate Change Conference in Paris, President Xi, using a French writer Victor Hugo’s saying “Extreme resources spring from extreme resolutions”, indicated China’s confidence in coping with the global changes once again. “As long as all parties show their sincerity, strengthen confidence with the joint hands, the conference in Paris will definitely achieve satisfactory results.” President Xi announced that China will playregard the construction of ecological civilization as an important roletask in the 13th five-year-plan in the future and will realize the harmonious development between human and nature by optimizing industrial structures, constructing low-carbon resource system, establishing national carbon emission trading market and so forth.

　　Reviewing other the climate change conferences in the past, China persists in making its own voices to show its determination as well as increasingboost the world’s confidence.

　　The 2007 “China’s National Programme to Address Climate Change” clearly committed China’s promise in performing the obligations from “United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change" and “Kyoto Protocol”. The year when the Climate Change Conference was held in Paris, Xie Zhenhua, the deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, attended the opening ceremony of the high-level meeting with his delegation. He said that climate change was a major challenge currently faced by the international community, and to meet this challenge, we were in need of sincere cooperation and concerted efforts under the principle of “common but differentiated responsibilities".

　　In 2011 Durban conference, the Chinese government once again reiterated that they wouldwill maintain the attitude of being responsible for not only their own people but the world’s, unwavering cope with climate change actively, take strong domestic actions to promote the green low-carbon development and actively participate in international negotiations on climate change.

　　Before the 2013 UN climate change conference in Warsaw, Poland, China's announcement of the "China's Climate Change Policies and Actions Annual Report 2013" pointed out that China wouldwill continue to play an active and constructive role during the Warsaw conference, support Poland to follow the principles of openness and transparency, broad participation, consensus achievement and driving by parties along with other countries so as to promote the success of the Warsaw meeting. In the conference, China indicated that energy conservation was an inherent requirement of the sustainable development and China wouldwill unswervingly follow the green low-carbon development path no matter how the negotiations proceeded .

　　In last year’s Lima conference, China clearly pointed out to continue promoting the construction of ecological civilization vigorously as well as taking the path of the green low-carbon sustainable development. Meanwhile, China wouldwill continue to undertake the international responsibilities in accordance with its national conditions, stage of development and obligations to strive for reaching the peak of the total carbon dioxide emissions as soon as possible.
