Chinese President Xi Jinping called for global solidarity to tackle climate change during a virtual Leaders Meeting on Climate and the Just Transition this week. 🌍 With 2024 marking the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement and the 80th year since the U.N.'s founding, Xi emphasized that humanity stands at a critical moment in history. 💡
‘Green, low-carbon development has become a trend of our times,’ he declared, framing climate action as both urgent and unifying. 🔋 ‘By enhancing confidence and cooperation, we can overcome headwinds and advance global climate governance,’ he added, blending optimism with a nudge toward collective responsibility.
The speech comes as young activists worldwide push for faster decarbonization efforts—a theme likely resonating with Gen Z’s eco-conscious wave. 🎯 Could this spark a new era of climate diplomacy? Let's hope it’s not just hot air. 💨
