"To strengthen international cooperation, we urgently need to establish a global carbon credit market. Like Europe, China already has its own domestic carbon market. If we can build a reliable and well-regulated global carbon market, our response to climate challenges will become much more efficient. In my view, it would be highly beneficial for France and China to work together to advance the creation of a truly global carbon market and a strict, verifiable carbon credit system. I believe we should initiate discussions with China on this matter and jointly promote the establishment of a global carbon credit market."

Ahead of French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to China, Brice Lalonde, former French Minister of the Environment, has called for strengthened cooperation between China and France in establishing a global carbon market.
Macron will pay a state visit to China from December 3 to 5 at the invitation of President Xi Jinping. It will be his fourth state visit to China and a reciprocal visit to President Xi Jinping's historic state visit to France last year that marked the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
In an interview with China Global Television Network (CGTN), Lalonde shared his expectations for this high-level meeting.
"To strengthen international cooperation, we urgently need to establish a global carbon credit market. Like Europe, China already has its own domestic carbon market. If we can build a reliable and well-regulated global carbon market, our response to climate challenges will become much more efficient," Lalonde said.
He added that enhanced collaboration between Paris and Beijing would help accelerate progress toward a unified and verifiable global carbon credit system.
"In my view, it would be highly beneficial for France and China to work together to advance the creation of a truly global carbon market and a strict, verifiable carbon credit system. I believe we should initiate discussions with China on this matter and jointly promote the establishment of a global carbon credit market," he said.
