And Evaluation | The US President's Special Envoy on Climate Issues Visits China. China US Cooperation Can Benefit the World on Climate Change | China US Special Envoy
According to the agreement between China and the United States, the US President's climate envoy John Kerry will visit China from July 16th to 19th, and both sides will exchange in-depth views on cooperation in addressing climate change.
This will be Kerry's third visit to China as the US President's special envoy on climate issues. Prior to that, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken paid a two-day visit to China in June. Last week, US Treasury Secretary Yellen visited China for another four days, and the US China economic and trade team held a long and candid meeting. All of these will help stabilize the decline of China US relations.
Kerry's visit to China this time will also meet with Chinese colleagues to hold talks on relevant climate cooperation. As the two largest clean energy investors in the world, China and the United States play an irreplaceable role in addressing global climate change. Previously, the two countries played an important role in promoting international cooperation and facilitating the Paris Agreement. Both countries have set their own climate goals, with China striving to peak carbon emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060. The United States has promised to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 52% by 2030, which will largely determine whether the world can successfully prevent the continuous rise of global temperatures.
However, the United States is constantly facing difficulties in trade, technology, and other areas to curb China's development, making it difficult to advance bilateral cooperation. Last year, Pelosi paid a visit to Taiwan, China in spite of opposition, and the Sino US climate change talks were forced to be suspended.
"We need sincere cooperation," Kerry previously stated in an interview. As the world's largest developing and developed countries, China and the United States share a common mission in addressing climate change and should further strengthen communication and cooperation, playing a leading role internationally. In the face of extreme high temperatures in many parts of the world, this will bring good news to the world.
