Description
But when it came to the finer points of the collaboration between the US and China, Zoe Wang, a climate issues expert at James Cook University, said the conversation was mostly symbolic. While China and US had re-opened climate talks, it is uncertain what the future will hold. At this moment, no details are revealed." However, Dr Wang said that a lack of concrete climate cooperation at the national level does not mean no action at all. The two countries have promoted climate cooperation at a lower state level despite deteriorating bilateral relations over the past years. "Especially on the issue of low-carbon technology and emissions trading scheme, as the governor of California just renewed its MOU with China on climate cooperation," Dr Wang said.
