This paper examines changes in U.S.-China climate relations since the 2009 Copenhagen summit to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). U.S.-China bilateral climate engagements are shifting away from its narrow focus on the clean energy sector to include more comprehensive climate projects with clear climate mitigation targets. Likewise, in contrast to their hostile relations at the Copenhagen summit, the U.S. and China committed to ambitious international climate pledges prior to the Paris summit and contributed to the successful adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2015. How do you explain these changes? In recent years, lower level governments (i.e., state, province, city) in the U.S. and China have assumed increasingly important roles in designing and implementing climate initiatives. Strengthening local climate initiatives enable deeper bilateral and multilateral climate relations by allowing each country to achieve their climate targets more easily and credibly make international climate pledges.
Abstract
This paper examines changes in U.S.-China climate relations since the 2009 Copenhagen summit to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). U.S.-China bilateral climate engagements are shifting away from its narrow focus on the clean energy sector to include more comprehensive climate projects with clear climate mitigation targets. Likewise, in contrast to their hostile relations at the Copenhagen summit, the U.S. and China committed to ambitious international climate pledges prior to the Paris summit and contributed to the successful adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2015. How do you explain these changes? In recent years, lower level governments (i.e., state, province, city) in the U.S. and China have assumed increasingly important roles in designing and implementing climate initiatives. Strengthening local climate initiatives enable deeper bilateral and multilateral climate relations by allowing each country to achieve their climate targets more easily and credibly make international climate pledges.
