China and the United States unveiled targets Wednesday to reduce greenhouse gases.

中国与美国本周三达成削减温室气体排放目标。

Chinese President Xi Jinping (L Front) holds a welcoming ceremony for U.S. President Barack Obama (R Front) at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, capital of China, Nov. 12, 2014.

Chinese President Xi Jinping set a target for China's emission¹ to peak by 2030, or earlier if possible. He also pledged to increase the share of energy that China will derive² from sources other than fossil fuels.

President Barack Obama announced that the U.S. would move faster in cutting pollution, with a goal to reduce by 26 percent to 28 percent by 2025, compared with 2005 levels. Earlier in his presidency³, Obama set a goal to cut emissions⁴ by 17 percent by 2020.

The talk between Xi and Obama began Wednesday morning at the Great Hall of the People in central Beijing.

Before their talks, Xi held a red-carpet ceremony to welcome Obama, who arrived in Beijing Monday to attend the 22nd Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders' Meeting and pay a state visit to China at Xi's invitation.

On Tuesday evening, the two heads of state held a meeting already at the Zhongnanhai leadership compound in central Beijing after the APEC meeting.
