Interview: Historical responsibility of developed countries unevadable: China's chief negotiator (3)

He criticized that some developed countries hadn't made enough mitigation ambitions that could reflect their capacity and responsibility for the second commitment period of Kyoto Protocal, which would last until 2020. Their commitments to providing finance support for developing countries were not really implemented either.

"The core task of pre-2020 efforts against climate change is to implement agreements and outcomes that we had reached. Developed countries should implement commitments that they have made," said Su, adding that stakeholders should also reach an agreement as soon as possible on issues of how to apply the principle of Convention in the 2015 agreement and the agreement's scope, structure and design.

In Doha Climate Change Conference last year, the Durban Platform was asked to consider elements for a draft negotiating text for the new agreement no later than December 2014, with a view to making available a negotiating text before May 2015.

"Whether a text will be available by 2015 depends on stakeholders' will. China will continue participating the negotiations positively and constructively, helping to reach an agreement by 2015," said Su.
