BEIJING - The United States, the world's largest developed nation, should exert more efforts to tackle climate change, Xie Zhenhua, vice minister of the National Development and Reform Commission, said here Wednesday.
On the climate change issue, the Obama administration has been more active than previous administrations, but it needs to do more on taking the lead in cutting emissions, providing financial supports and technology transfers, he said.
"We know that there are disputes and difficulties within the US on legislation, but we hope these, along with the US unwillingness to take more responsibilities, should not be shifted to other countries," Xie said.
"We would like to enhance cooperation with the US to deal with climate change," he said.
