China announced today, Friday, its decision to withdraw from hosting the United Nations annual climate conference for 2028, after several months of studying the possibility of bidding to organize the conference. AFP reported, citing informed sources, that Beijing considered the possibility of hosting the conference during the thirty-first Conference of the Parties (COP31) held in Antalya, Turkey, before ultimately deciding not to pursue this option. The agency pointed out that China's hosting of the conference would have significant implications, as it is the largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world, alongside its rapid expansion in deploying renewable energy technologies and electric vehicles. It added that India had withdrawn its offer to host the conference last April without providing reasons, while South Korea had previously expressed interest in organizing it.
