The United Nations and Europe have welcomed a China-U.S. joint declaration on enhancing climate action. China
and the United States on Wednesday released the China-U.S. Joint
Glasgow Declaration on Enhancing Climate Action in the 2020s at the 26th
Session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention
on Climate Change (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland. The two countries
agreed to establish a working group on enhancing climate action in the
2020s to promote cooperation between them and the multilateral
processes. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called the declaration an "important step in the right direction." "I
welcome today's agreement between China and the U.S. to work together
to take more ambitious climate action in this decade," Guterres said on
Twitter. "Tackling the climate crisis requires international
collaboration and solidarity." EU climate policy chief Frans Timmermans said it was "really encouraging" to see China and the U.S. working together. "It
shows also that the U.S. and China know this subject transcends other
issues. And it certainly helps us here at COP to come to an agreement,"
he said. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson also welcomed the
"strong show of commitment from China and the U.S. last night to step up
climate action this decade" on Twitter. "This is a boost to
negotiations as we go into the final days of COP26 and continue working
to deliver an ambitious outcome for the planet," Johnson said.
