1/5 President Xi just addressed the Leaders Summit on Climate - the first international head of state on the docket - some takeaways to follow: #LeadersClimateSummit #ClimateAction #climate #China #COP26

2/5 1) Xi tonally focus on balance and harmony with nature, and the new development philosophies embedded in ecocivilization tenets - no surprise

3/5 Xi reiterated 2030 emissions peaking and 2060 neutrality commitments without going further - will disappoint some but is unsurprising; current commitments were announced only ~7 months ago and were unlikely to change at a US-hosted forum

4/5 Xi doubled-down on the importance of common but differentiated commitments b/t developed and developing countries - a division many would like to see erode

5/5 Xi's most tangible statement was that China to strictly control coal now, strictly limit coal growth during the 14FYP (2020-2025), & ramp coal down during the 15FYP (2025-2030). We'll see; the level at which that growth ends and peaking happens is the essential business here.
