China is considering a bid to host the United Nations’ climate talks in 2028, according to two sources familiar with the matter cited by Hong Kong Free Press. The proposal relates to the planned COP33 summit. The sources say China is exploring the move as part of efforts to strengthen its international standing on climate action.
Both reports say Beijing has not made a final decision and there is no clear timeline for when a decision would be reached. The sources interviewed indicate that details about the potential bid are still under discussion rather than finalized. The coverage focuses on the current stage of consideration rather than any confirmed outcome, with no announcement of a formal host-country application in the reporting provided.
