Addressing the Major Economies Forum on energy security and climate change, Chinese State Councilor Dai Bingguo offered a three-point proposal for the global fight against climate change on behalf of Chinese President Hu Jintao.

Dai said that countries should work together to fight against climate change under the principles of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.

He called for the building of environmentally-friendly and energy-saving societies, the promotion of technology, energy optimization and he also called for strengthening environmental protection. Dai stressed the importance of economic development as the foundation in the fight against climate change.

This means that actions to deal with climate change should promote rather than hinder the economic development of the developing countries. He said China has always attached great importance to climate change. And the country has made constant achievements in energy saving and emission reduction.
