China led several nations in announcing new climate plans, with President Xi Jinping using the U.N. General Assembly to indirectly criticize U.S. President Donald Trump's climate denial rhetoric.

• China pledged to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 7%-10% from its peak by 2035 and increase wind and solar power capacity by six times from 2020 levels within 10 years.
• U.S. President Donald Trump, on Tuesday, referred to climate change as a "con job" and ordered the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement.
• Other countries, including Brazil (reducing emissions by 59%-67% by 2035), the EU (on track for 55% cut by 2030, with 66%-72% goal for 2035), Australia (slashing emissions by 62%-70% below 2005 levels by 2035), and Palau (44% of 2015 levels by 2035), also unveiled their updated commitments.
