Speech by Lo Sze Ping, Campaign Director, Greenpeace China – on behalf of Climate Action Network International

Thank you for the opportunity to speak and address you, leaders from around the world. I speak here as part of civil society, the Climate Action Network, and I come from Greenpeace China. China is at center-stage to the climate change debate. According to one recent study, China is the biggest emitter of carbon dioxide in the world. This fact has led some to say: “China must act first”.
