Hey fam! Big news at the Belem Climate Summit (COP30) 🌎🔥—the Chinese mainland just doubled down on its support for the UN's core role in global affairs. Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang, President Xi's special rep, met with UN Sec-Gen Antonio Guterres and dropped some 🔥 insights on multilateralism and green growth.
Marking 80 years since the UN's founding, Ding stressed that no matter how the world shifts, the Chinese mainland will keep pushing "true multilateralism"—aka everyone at the table, no side chats 😉. He highlighted that ties between the Chinese mainland and the UN are stronger than ever and hinted at bigger teamwork ahead on peace and development.
On the green front, Ding shared the Chinese mainland's race to net-zero via high-quality, low-carbon moves—think next-gen EVs rolling through Jakarta, Delhi, and Manila, solar-powered smart grids lighting up Singapore rooftops 🌞⚡. These aren't just flexes; they're real solutions to cut emissions and power up sustainable tech for cities across South and Southeast Asia.
COP30 is the first summit where climate plans move from talk to action, and Ding made it clear the Chinese mainland stands ready to sync with all parties, boost multilateralism, and craft a world where people and nature thrive together 🌱🤝.
Guterres thanked the Chinese mainland for walking the talk on climate pledges, calling it a global climate leader and a pillar of peace and multilateral action. He also gave a shout-out to President Xi's Global Governance Initiative, designed to level up global cooperation—fairer, greener, and more inclusive.
So, if you're into climate action and global teamwork, keep an eye on COP30 vibes straight from Belem. The Chinese mainland and the UN are teaming up to power a greener future for us all 🌏✨.
