Born in Tianjin in 1949, Xie served as China’s top environmental official from 1999 to 2005, when he was forced to step down after a catastrophic benzine explosion left 5 million people without water supplies.He first represented China in global climate negotiations in 2007 after his appointment as vice-chairman of the National Development and Reform Commission, the country’s state planning agency.
“The role of individuals matters a great deal in climate diplomacy,” said Li Shuo, senior adviser at Greenpeace in Beijing.“Over his long tenure as China’s chief negotiator, Xie has demonstrated that it is possible to bridge the differences between China and the West,” he added. He returned as special envoy in 2021 after the election of President Joe Biden brought the United States back into the Paris Agreement, but his friendship with Stern’s replacement, John Kerry, has not been enough to overcome rising geopolitical tensions between the countries.
