Collaborating on Climate: Can the U.S. and China Cooperate?

Rising to the challenge of climate change will be impossible without action by the two largest emitters of greenhouse gases, China and the United States. Yet relations between the U.S. and China are at a low point. Will the future climate action be shaped by competition or collaboration between the United States and China? What are the prospects for progress in the absence of robust cooperation between the two countries or with the rest of the world? What role will the private sector have in the future of climate change policies? Join a discussion with UCLA’s Alex Wang, moderated by FPRI’s Jacques deLisle, on the future of U.S.- China relations and climate change policy.
