Kerry urges China to isolate climate policy from political tensions.
U.S. Climate Envoy Urges Collaboration on Climate Change
U.S. climate envoy John Kerry emphasized the importance of separating climate policy from other diplomatic tensions during his visit to Beijing. Speaking to Chinese Vice President Han Zheng, Kerry highlighted that climate change is a “universal threat” that requires collaboration from the world’s two largest economies.
“We have the ability to make a difference with respect to climate,” Kerry expressed during their meeting at Beijing’s parliament building. He further emphasized the significance of the upcoming COP28 summit, stating, “If we can come together over these next months, we will have an opportunity to make a profound difference on this issue.”
Kerry also mentioned the possibility of President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping meeting this fall for climate talks ahead of the COP28 summit. He pledged to work closely with China to help the presidents produce real results.
Kerry’s visit marks the third trip by U.S. officials to Beijing in the last five weeks, following Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
