They should also provide support in terms of funding, technology transfer and capacity building, and ensure that already-established mechanisms and institutions start substantive work, the report said.
The conference should make proper follow-up arrangements for issues left unsettled in the Bali Action Plan, such as fairness, trade and intellectual property rights, in order to successfully complete talks on the Bali Action Plan, according to the report.
China also urges the conference to allow for the full exchange of views on issues relating to the continued enforcement of the UNFCCC beyond 2020, the report said.
A working group on the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action (ADP) was established at the Durban conference last year to develop a protocol or another legal instrument applicable to all parties to provide a basis for them to implement the convention and work to reduce emissions beyond 2020.
China is open to negotiations on the continued enforcement of the UNFCCC beyond 2020 once it is based on the principles of fairness and "common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capacities," Xie said in response to a question on when China would be ready to accept a binding greenhouse gas emissions target.
"After we finish talks on the arrangements prior to 2020, China is willing to take an active part in further negotiations," Xie said. "We can not predict the results of future talks, but we will implement whatever agreements are reached by all."
The country hopes that the parties can agree on basic principles for the Durban Platform negotiations and start the talks next year, he said.
