USA and China agreed to continue cooperation in the fight against climate change
It was reported that China and the USA, the world's two largest economies and the two countries that cause the highest carbon emissions, agreed to work together for renewable energy and carbon emissions reduction targets in the fight against global climate change.
According to the joint statement made by the two countries, following the meetings between US Special Representative for Climate Change John Kerry and China's Special Representative for Climate Change Xie Jinhua in China and the USA, it was decided to reactivate the climate cooperation working group between the two countries. Within the scope of the agreement, it was stated that the two countries will work together to "increase renewable energy capacity on a global scale by 2030" and "accelerate the substitution of coal, oil and natural gas". It was noted that with the agreement, the two countries will include the control of gases other than carbon dioxide, which causes greenhouse effects, such as methane, in their 2035-term plans to reduce carbon emissions.
Methane gas control
China has made a commitment to control methane gas for the first time within the scope of its emission reduction strategy. Countries also decided to jointly fight against forest loss and plastic pollution. The climate change agreement was announced hours before the bilateral meeting between US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping in San Francisco. It is anticipated that the agreement will create an important common ground between the two countries that cause the highest carbon emissions in the world, before the 2023 UN Climate Change Conference (COP28) to be held in Dubai this month. According to International Energy Agency data, China was the country that caused the most carbon emissions in 2022 with 12.1 gigatons, followed by the USA with 4.7 gigatons. Within the scope of its climate targets, the Beijing administration aims to reduce carbon emissions from 2030 and become "carbon neutral" in 2060.
