…Chancellor Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron spoke to Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday with the three leaders agreeing to work more closely on climate change….German government spokeswoman Ulrike Demmer said Merkel and Macron welcomed Xi’s reaffirmation of China’s goal of becoming carbon-neutral before 2060.
They also expressed support for China to adjust its shorter-term emissions goals.
At the talks, Xi is reported to have warned of the possibility that climate change could be used as a tool to disparage some countries for not doing enough.
“Responding to climate change is a common cause of all mankind and it should not become a geopolitical bargaining chip, a target for attacks on other countries or an excuse for trade barriers,” the official Xinhua news agency cited Xi as saying…..An excerpt from https://www.dw.com/en/germany-and-france-agree-on-climate-cooperation-with-china/a-57230283
