Leading US-China Experts Discuss Tianjin and US-China Climate and Energy Issues.
The international climate meetings in Tianjin on October 4-9 will be a key moment for US-China relations on climate and energy. Today ChinaFAQs experts held a press call to discuss how the countries are cooperating on climate and energy issues, and the risks and benefits involved.
“The first thing to note is the political significance of China hosting an important UN climate change negotiating session. It shows the importance China puts on the issue of climate change, but also its commitment to the United Nations,” said Jennifer Morgan, Director of WRI’s Climate and Energy Program.

It is to be hoped that these both countries which consume huge quantity of primary energy will find a way to reduce their consumption. But because of the financial crisis I cannot believe that they are accepting solutions which will affect their economic activities.
