and enhance global ecological security. Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization and the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind
combine to serve as Chinese wisdom and solutions for global environmental governance. We advocate a new global governance concept of mutual respect, fairness,
justice, and win-win cooperation, and regard climate change as an opportunity for all
countries to pursue sustainable development, and promote mutually beneficial cooperation and development, which is conducive to expanding voluntary cooperation
between countries, expanding the convergence of interests with other countries, and
turning climate change negotiations from a “zero-sum game” into win-win cooperation. In terms of climate governance concepts and cooperation methods, China has
shown a new type of leadership different from that of the United States and Europe—
which is being increasingly recognized worldwide. Cooperation to address climate
change truly meets the interests of all countries, with more converging points of interests and room for win-win cooperation than other global risks and regional hotspot
issues in political, economic, social and other fields, and thus has brighter prospects
for cooperation. Tackling climate change provides an international stage for China
to demonstrate its leadership in the reform and construction of global governance,
making it possible for it to serve as a pioneer in promoting mutual respect, fairness,
justice, and win-win cooperation in a new era to build a community with a shared
future for mankind.
Addressing climate change is related to the common interests of mankind, and
thus requires global cooperation. Comrade Xi Jinping emphasized that “we must
implement a national strategy to actively address climate change, promote and guide
the establishment of a fair, reasonable, cooperative and win-win global governance
system, and follow the vision of a community with a shared future for mankind, live
up to the responsibility as a major country.” He also proposed other ideas, such as
“working with other countries to build a beautiful homeland with good ecology for
mankind,” that have become an important guiding ideology leading the reform and
construction of environmental governance systems worldwide.
The global climate governance mechanism and international negotiation rules
laid out in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change adhere
to the principles of multilateral participation and consensus of all parties, and offer
provisions for conscious cooperation to promote ecological security of the earth and
the common interests of mankind. However, there are contradictions and differences
between the parties in the sharing of responsibilities and obligations, unwittingly
resulting in complex multi-party games—a situation that requires influential powers
to intervene and take the lead. To play a leading role in climate change, China must
show its ability to coordinate the positions and interests of all parties, guide the
formulation of global climate governance mechanisms and action plans that reflect
fairness, reasonableness, and win-win cooperation, and promote political consensus
and willingness of all parties to showing influence and charisma in seeking the
common goal, considering the positions of all parties, and the balance of the interests
of all parties, thereby promoting the joint efforts and strengthening actions. China
should adopt Xi Jinping’s idea of building a global ecological civilization and the
