An unexpected and somewhat rare joint government statement on the agreement between the two countries was issued by the two negotiating delegations on Wednesday evening at the 26th session of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP26) in Glasgow.
According to the announcement, China and the United States understand the gravity of the climate crisis and the need to take urgent action.
The title and text of the communication also make it clear that the two countries, the world’s two largest emitters, believe that action is still needed in the current decade to mitigate the effects of climate change.
In the statement, Washington and Beijing commit to address the climate crisis at an accelerated pace in the “critical decade of 2020” and work together to prevent the catastrophic effects of climate change through multilateral arrangements, including the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate. they change.
The declaration highlights that the United States wants to eliminate 100 percent of electricity generation from carbon emissions by 2035, and China will reduce carbon emissions during the 15th Five-Year Plan period and will make every effort to speed up this process.
John Kerry, the US government’s special envoy on climate change, revealed at a press conference in Glasgow Wednesday night that, in preparation for a joint statement, the US and China negotiating delegations had agreed thirty times in person or online. He put it this way: “There is no shortage of differences in the relations between the two countries,” but cooperation on climate change is the only possible way.
Zhen Zhenhua, head of the Chinese delegation, said at a press conference not long ago that there was “more consensus than China” on the issue of tackling climate change.
And although Chinese President Chen Qingping is responsible for the Glasgow Climate Summit that began last Monday, he did not appear at the meeting.
US President Joe Biden, who was present at the summit for the first two days of the event, told a press conference before departure that he said China made a huge mistake by not attending the COP26 summit because it missed the opportunity to “impress people around the world and at COP26”.
However, Biden did not mention that a joint bilateral statement on long-term climate protection cooperation between the United States and China is expected at the Glasgow meeting.
