A People's Daily article on China's efforts to reduce CO2 emissions cites two different pieces of analysis from me - emissions entering structural decline, and clean energy sectors contributing 40% of GDP growth last year.

I discussed the need for progress on climate change with PRC Special Envoy for Climate Change Liu Zhenmin. We hope to address deforestation and accelerate the pace of the U.S.-China sub-working groups on the green energy transition & methane and non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions.

10 years ago, Beijing life was synonymous with severe air pollution. How things have changed since then. Short reflection piece I wrote looking back on those crazy years. Thanks always to Kai_Greenpeace Li Shuo_ASPI Lauri Myllyvirta Anders Hove and others I worked with on this issue

The new question we should ask now is not how come China is so fast in deploying renewable energy, but why the rest of the world is so slow, and how to accelerate.

Alan Yu from American Progress: John Podesta will travel to China in early September for another round of climate diplomacy.

That’d make the Biden-Xi meeting exactly 10 years after the Obama-Xi meeting at the APEC in Beijing, where the two sides delivered their first joint climate statement. What a decade it has been.

It's interesting how one of the first (Kerry in April 2021) and the last (Podesta) China visits of a senior Biden official are on climate change. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via Bloomberg Green

US climate envoy John Podesta is traveling to China this month. I argue the US and China could take advantage of a confluence of events in November to reset their climate relationship on a stronger footing, especially if they move together on their NDCs. scmp.com/opinion/world-…
