In an exclusive episode of Leaders Talk, CMG's Zou Yun sits down with Inger Andersen, executive director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), to explore the drivers behind the Chinese mainland's green transformation.
Andersen highlights the milestones achieved under China's 15th Five-Year Plan, from ambitious emissions targets to efforts in restoring ecosystems and cutting pollution. She praises the "spirit of striving for better" that has accelerated renewable energy deployment and sustainable urban development.
On the global stage, she underscores the impact of President Xi Jinping's steadfast support for multilateral climate action, emphasizing how political will can galvanize countries to forge stronger partnerships. "Tackling climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution requires cooperation beyond borders," Andersen notes.
These insights could inspire other nations to adopt bold green strategies for a sustainable future.
