"As entrepreneurs, we are very glad to see the Chinese government made a strong commitment to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions and we fully support the decision," said Wang Shi, Chairman of China Vanke Co. Ltd. - the biggest real estate company in China.
He made the remarks Saturday in an exclusive interview with Xinhua on board the Climate Express from Brussels to Copenhagen where the UN climate change conference is set to begin Monday.
The Climate Express, which was be powered by 100 percent renewable energy as part of the Train to Copenhagen campaign organized by the International Union of Railways, took on board more than 400 climate change negotiators, campaigners and other high-profile personalities going to Copenhagen.
"As a member of the Chinese civil society, I hope the voice of Chinese people can be heard by the world during the conference," Wang said as he explained the purpose of the trip to Copenhagen.
Wang is among several Chinese entrepreneurs, members of NOGs and environmentalists who were invited by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to take the Climate Express to the Danish capital.
Wang, who also chairs Society of Entrepreneurs and Ecology, an environmental NGO in China, said his company has been increasing investment in "Green Building", which he said will contribute to the realization of China's emission reduction target.
