Premier Wen Jiabao on Monday says the upcoming Copenhagen Conference repre- sents another important moment in international action on climate change. |
"The willingness and commitments to be expressed by countries at Copenhagen will promote the historic advancement of green economy and sustainable development," Wen said when delivering a speech at the closing ceremony of the fifth China-EU Business Summit.
Wen said the Chinese government will take an active and constructive part in the Conference and looks forward to a positive outcome at Copenhagen.
According to Wen, people need to establish a recycling and sustainable national economic system that generates high output with low input, and that is featured by low consumption and low emissions, so as to leave to future generations a planet where they can survive and thrive.
People need to transform the existing patterns of development and consumption and move the world to a development path characterized by high productivity, prosperous lives and sound ecology, Wen added.
A review of world industrialization over the last 200 years or more showed that the modernization of developed countries, with a population of no more than 1 billion, was achieved at a great cost of the resources and ecology of the whole world, he said.
