REUTERS/Arnd Wiegmann/FilesSHANGHAI, Sept 22 - Europe and other developed countries must take "positive action" to implement climate change goals as geopolitical uncertainties threaten to undermine their efforts, China's top climate envoy told his German counterpart.
"The climate policies of some European countries have shown a 'backswing', and it is hoped that this is just a temporary stopgap," he said, according to a summary of the meeting released by China's environment ministry.
China, the world's biggest carbon emitter, is expected to focus on the issue of financing at this year's global climate talks, known as COP27, which will take place in Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt in November.
