A senior Chinese official told Xinhua Tuesday that the country is working on a national plan to further cope with the issue of climate change.
"We are working on a further national plan based on a longer term in a bid to strengthen the enforcement of international treaties about the issue," Xie said.
The plan is aimed to better tackle the climate change and boost economic growth in the meantime, Xie added.
The Chinese chief climate negotiator did not elaborate the plan, only saying that the country eyes on accumulating useful experiences to establish a low-carbon economy through some pilot projects.
In 2007, a national leading group on climate change, headed by Premier Wen Jiabao, was set up to oversee the issues related to climate change.
In the same year, the Chinese government issued the National Climate Change Program, the first of its kind issued by a developing country, which worked out the strategies and measures to tackle climate change.
China's "green" determination has been boosted by the country's achievements in its environmental initiatives. Figures show China's energy consumption per unit of GDP dropped 4.59 percent in 2008, and 10.08 percent from 2006 to 2008.
