n a surprising move, the two nations commit to collaborating on climate action in support of the Cop26 summit
In an unexpected turn at the Cop26 summit, China and the United States unveiled a plan to work together on reducing greenhouse gas emissions over the next decade. This partnership is seen as a major boost to the climate talks, which have been marked by tense negotiations and disagreements.
Despite a week of verbal sparring between the two superpowers, the joint declaration reveals a commitment to collaborate on critical climate goals, especially the urgent need to limit global warming to 1.5C. The plan includes joint efforts to reduce methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas, as well as addressing emissions from transportation, energy production, and industry.
This surprise announcement not only surprised the UK hosts of the summit but also sent a powerful message to the 190-plus nations at the talks, signaling the importance of collective action in addressing climate change.
