Climate change requires US and China to cooperate not compete, experts warn
==========
Experts at a Harvard University conference on US-China relations emphasized the need for China and the US to move beyond their differences and address global problems together. Despite ongoing disputes over trade, Taiwan, and other issues, the recent summit between Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Joe Biden has provided some hope for cooperation. The experts highlighted the urgent need to address global warming, as current pledges to reduce greenhouse gas emissions fall far short of what is necessary. They called for international coordination, particularly between the US, China, India, and Europe, to spur action on climate change. The speakers also emphasized the importance of holding leaders accountable and urged citizens to speak out when they believe government policies are wrong. They called for ambitious climate targets, carbon trading, and increased private sector investment in clean energy. The experts stressed the need for political courage and bravery from leaders to strengthen the US-China relationship and address shared concerns.
