大会召开地点：Cancunmesse国际会展中心
北京—本周二中方高级官员表明，气候会谈将于下周在墨西哥坎昆举办。只有西方国家同意转让技术给像中国这样的发展中国家并在减少温室气体排放物方面发挥带头作用，这次会议才有可能成功。
这周前不久，两位中国资深气候官员声称中国愿意做出让步，如果发达国家同意投入300亿美元建立一个帮助贫困国家解决全球气候变暖问题的基金。本周，一位负责气候问题的中方高级官员和国家发展和改革委副主任解振华发表评论再次强调了此观点。
西方国家承诺设立一个这样的基金但是具体细节还有待制定。解振华表明，由于1997年的《京都议定书》将于2012年到期，所以本次会议是确保议定书实行的关键。
以中国为代表的发展中国家长期认为，气候变化问题应归咎于西方国家几十年的环境污染，所以发展中国家不应该对大部分的气候变化问题负责，也不应该在扭转局面方面发挥主导作用。中国首席气候官强烈声明，这个评论再次强调当谈判方试图和解两方阵营的立场时所面临的挑战。
解振华表明：“为了给发展中国家留出更多发展空间，发达国家应在大规模减少温室气体排放方面起到引领作用。尤其是发展中国家应该关注关于实现基金设立和技术转让方面的有形成果。”
相比之下，美国希望发展中国家控制温室气体排放量并同意接受国际核查。
解振华呼吁发达国家减少高达40%的温室气体排放量并强调，尽管三十年经济改革规划使中国跃居工业国家的前列，中国也已经在减少污染方面取得巨大进展。他说：“在历史上没有任何一个国家或地区取得过如此的成就，这是我们对国际社会的巨大贡献。”
解表明尽管中国发展很快，但它还是一个发展中国家，因此不能在气候变化问题上用对待美国或欧洲国家的要求来对待中国。他还说：“如果不站在发展中国家的角度考虑中国，我们是不会接受任何条件的。”
解振华说中国已经在处理所有事务时优先考虑削减污染了，许多地方政府已经做出最后的努力来实现减少污染的目标。今年政府官员已经关闭了一些工厂为了达到减少中国“能源强度”——所谓单位经济产量的能源消耗量的目标。

BEIJING — Senior Chinese officials said on Tuesday that next week’s climate talks in Cancún, Mexico, would succeed only if the West agreed to transfer technology to developing countries like China and to take the lead in cutting emissions.
The comments by one of China’s senior officials in charge of climate issues, Xie Zhenhua of the powerful National Development and Reform Commission, were mirrored by two other senior Chinese climate officials who earlier this week published a report saying China was willing to make concessions — if developed nations put money into a $30 billion fund aimed at helping poor nations cope with global warming.
Western countries pledged to set up such a fund but details have yet to be worked out. Mr. Xie said it would be the key to securing a deal to the 1997 Kyoto treaty, which is due to expire in 2012.
The positions reflect a long-standing view by developing countries, led by China, that they are largely not responsible for climate change — which they say was caused by decades of western pollution — and thus should not play a leading role in reversing it. Stated forcefully by China’s chief climate officials, the comments reemphasized the challenge facing negotiators in Cancun as they try to reconcile the positions of the two camps.
“Developed countries need to take the lead in massively cutting their green house gas emission in order to give further development space to developing countries,” Mr. Xie said. “Developing countries in particular should be concerned about achieving tangible results with regard to funding and technology transfer issues.”
The United States, by contrast, wants developing countries to curb emissions and agree to international verification.
Mr. Xie called on developed countries to cut emissions by up to 40 percent and emphasized that China has already made huge strides in cutting pollution, even though its 30-year program of economic reforms have vaulted it to the forefront of industrialized nations. “No single country or single block of countries has achieved that in history,” Mr. Xie said. “This is our big contribution to the international community.”
Despite China’s growth, Mr. Xie said it remains a developing country and couldn’t be treated like the United States or European countries with respect to climate change. “We will never accept anything beyond our condition as a developing country,” he said.
Mr. Xie noted that China had made pollution cuts such a priority that some local governments had made last-ditch efforts to meet pollution-reduction targets. This year some factories closed as officials tried to meet targets for reducing China’s “energy intensity” — the amount of power consumer per unit of economic output.
