Climate change was once a key area of US-China collaboration, leading to milestones like the 2014 US-China climate change agreement, which paved the way for the Paris Agreement. While recent years have seen renewed domestic and global climate efforts, bilateral progress remains hindered by trade and technology tensions.
At this meeting, speakers will weigh in on what’s next for US-China climate relations. Joanna Lewis (Georgetown University) and Cecilia Springer (Boston University Global China Initiative) will explore the potential opportunities that exist for the United States and China cooperation or coordination in the climate space. Kate Logan (Asia Society Policy Institute) will discuss China’s growing climate finance to the Global South, how it differs from financing from developed countries, and what this may mean for US-China climate relations.
