As the world’s two largest economies and carbon emitters, the U.S.-China relationship holds significant implications for global efforts to combat climate change. What is the potential for symbiotic collaboration and what are the risks of standoff between these key players? How can shared climate goals foster cooperation in areas such as clean energy technology development, emissions reduction targets and international climate agreements? Join the conversation as we analyze the opportunities and challenges in U.S.-China climate relations and explore pathways for constructive engagement towards a sustainable future. We'll also discuss the geopolitical tensions and policy differences that may hinder effective collaboration. From trade disputes to political differences, understanding the complexities of US-China relations is crucial for advancing meaningful climate action on a global scale.
