Without mentioning Donald Trump by name, Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday urged the president-elect to keep the United States in the historic Paris climate pact ― an accord Trump has promised to “cancel.”

Last year, more than 170 countries pledged to drastically reduce carbon emissions in an effort to limit the rise in global temperatures. Speaking Tuesday at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, Xi called the pact a “hard-won achievement” that “all signatories should stick to.”

He stressed that tackling climate change is a responsibility we owe to future generations, and that walking away could have serious global consequences.

“It is important to protect the environment while pursuing economic and social progress ― to achieve harmony between man and nature, and harmony between man society,” Xi said.
