There is no doubt that bold action must be taken globally to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It requires political will, international cooperation, good business models and innovation to reach the goal of the policy agreements, said Hege Araldsen, consul general of Norway in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, while addressing the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Media & Think Tank Forum on Sunday.

She noted the crucial importance of cooperation and policy consensus in the blue economy, as the challenge of climate change is becoming increasingly pressing.

Through partnerships and mutual investments, China and Norway can combat climate change and enhance climate adaptation while increasing prosperity through trade and investments, she added.
