SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--September 13th (Yang Jiaxin) At the 2018 Global Climate Action Summit Climate Investment and Financing Forum held in San Francisco, USA, former US Vice President Al Gore pointed out that countries Both have made a commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and China has played a leading role in making important contributions to global climate governance.

The forum was co-sponsored by the Department of Climate Change of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the California Government, the International Finance Forum, China News Service, and the Energy Foundation.

Gore pointed out that China and the United States have cooperated in many fields in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and have shown their leadership to the world.

Gore said that China is also a global leader in renewable energy investment. “China has paid great attention to the investment and financing activities of renewable energy, and has achieved certain development. At present, 60% of the world's solar cells are made in China. China has also performed well in global clean energy investment.”

In terms of energy investment, Gore stressed that it should pay attention to negative investment and financing: “We need to increase good investment and reduce bad investment.” In Gore’s view, there are still many investment and financing companies in the world that focus on fossil fuels and need to be reduced in time. Such financing will pay more attention to investment in the field of renewable energy to effectively protect the environment.
