DUBAI: China supports the initiative by G20 countries to triple global renewable energy capacity by 2030, says Xie Zhenhua, China’s special envoy for climate change.

He also said during a news conference last Saturday on the sidelines of the 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, or COP 28, that the world cannot forge ahead with energy transition without considering countries’ differing conditions.
