China has allocated about 700 million yuan ($105 million) to help developing countries tackle global warming since 2011, a senior Chinese official said at the annual UN climate change conference. Xie Zhenhua, China's special representative for climate change affairs, made the remark on Wednesday at a side event of the 24th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, or COP24, in Katowice, Poland. While proactively carrying out national strategies to manage climate change in recent years, China has also been promoting the establishment of a fair and reasonable global climate governance system, he said at a forum on South-South cooperation. The country has also showed its image as a responsible country making an effort to build a community with a shared future for mankind, he added. Xie promised China's continued support within the framework of South-South cooperation to the least-developed countries, small island states and African countries. Such support will include donating materials to tackle climate change, facilitating the draft of climate change policies, and planning and promoting climate-resilient technologies. COP24 is tasked with finalizing the implementation rules of the 2015 Paris climate change conference, which aims to keep global warming well below 2 C. The conference is scheduled to close on Friday. China hopes that COP24 will conclude with an implementation guideline that embodies the principles of equity, common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities, Xie said. He also called for strengthened South-South cooperation that will lead to a win-win situation by sharing instructive practices, policies and measures in tackling climate change. figured wristbandsblue silicone braceletcustomized rubber braceletslittle rubber band braceletsembossed wristbands
