What are the contents of Sino-US climate cooperation?

First, global cooperation in disaster risk early warning of extreme weather events. Both China and the United States will encounter more extreme weather disasters, such as extreme low temperature rain and snow disasters, extreme rainfall, high temperature and drought, hurricanes and tsunamis. The two countries can use advanced meteorological observation and earth simulation technology to establish early warning and forecasting platforms for regional and global extreme weather events and provide public products for the global response to the climate crisis.

Second, China-US carbon market and green financial cooperation. The carbon market provides an effective way to deal with the relationship between economic development and carbon emission reduction. The carbon markets in China and the United States are developing rapidly. On 20021July 16, China's national carbon market was officially launched, covering about 4.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions, making it the largest carbon market in the world. The huge market demand between China and the United States breeds great potential for cooperation. We can first explore the pilot project of urban carbon market cooperation and expand the opportunities of green financial cooperation between China and the United States.

Third, cooperation in methane emission reduction and control capacity building. In the declaration, China and the United States launched actions to control and reduce methane emissions in the next 65,438+00 years: the United States announced an action plan for methane emission reduction, and China, in addition to its independent contribution, plans to formulate a comprehensive and powerful national action plan for methane. Methane emission control should follow the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities" under the basic framework of the Paris Agreement and the mode of national independent contribution, and strengthen actions according to their respective national conditions and capabilities, which can strengthen technical cooperation on methane emission reduction and enhance capacity building.

The fourth is to establish a Sino-US climate security and strategic dialogue mechanism. The climate crisis has played an increasingly significant role in promoting international security. China and the United States will face more and more strategic competition on climate security in international and regional affairs. In order to prevent the competition between the two countries in regional affairs from intensifying and damaging their respective interests, we can establish a "Sino-US Climate Security and Strategic Dialogue Mechanism", closely communicate with each other on their respective carbon-neutral policies, and have a dialogue on regional climate security and strategic affairs, so as to maintain healthy competition and cooperation, safeguard world peace, promote global development and maintain a fair and reasonable international order.
