Climate cooperation between China and the USA is 'imperative'

There is the greatest opportunity for the cooperation between China and the United States is cooperation in the field of climate change. The two countries already have successful history and cooperation experience in the climate fields, such as limiting and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting electric vehicles, pollution reduction, offshore wind, etc. The prospects for further cooperation in the future are very optimistic. Past experiences show that these are the best areas where both sides can engage in active and constructive cooperation.
