The 2018 Global Climate Action Summit held its opening ceremony in San Francisco on the 13th. Xie Zhenhua, China’s special representative for climate change and co-chair of the Global Climate Action Summit, said that China will honor 100% of its commitments to address climate change and make greater contributions to global green and low carbon development.

During the keynote speech at the opening ceremony, Xie Zhenhua said that China has strived to follow the green, low-carbon and circular development path in line with national conditions and adopted measures to optimize industrial structure, energy conservation and energy efficiency, develop non-fossil energy, and build a national carbon emissions trading market. A series of initiatives have achieved remarkable results.

The US government’s announcement of its withdrawal from the Paris agreement has been criticized by many parties. Bloomberg, UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Climate Action, said Washington could not stop the global trend of low carbonization. The Trump administration’s announcement of its withdrawal from the Paris Agreement does not mean that the United States has withdrawn from the Paris Agreement.

San Francisco City Mayor Brid said that California, where San Francisco is located, has been at the forefront of environmental protection and climate change, and these practices will not change because of "external factors." California has strong economic strength and will continue to actively promote the development of renewable energy.

The small island states most affected by climate change once again launched a joint initiative to the world at the summit. Barbados Prime Minister Mia Motley said that the storm is attacking Barbados, which is the fourth storm in their country this year, which is unprecedented. She called on the developed countries to fulfill the commitments of the green climate funds as soon as possible, because "the small island countries have to survive, can't wait."

The former Executive Secretary of the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Figueres, also attended the opening ceremony. By dialogue with climate experts, she reminded countries that they should use more active policies and more effective measures to achieve global temperature control goals.

The representative of the Chinese entrepreneur and chairman of the Ningxia Baofeng Group, Party Yanbao, said at the opening ceremony that it is the responsibility and obligation of the company to protect the common home. In the future, the company will truly embark on a path of sustainable development with resource conservation and environmental friendliness in 10 years. He also promised to use more of the company's profits to address climate change practices.
