Charting a path toward cooperation and a greener world
The U.S. and China account for nearly half of global energy demand, and create a similar percentage of greenhouse gas emissions. The technologies exist to improve efficiency, reduce pollution and diversify supplies. But we aren’t moving ahead quickly enough to get ahead of the problem.
Recognizing the importance of this issue, a bi-partisan group of leaders in the U.S. and China has created a high-level dialogue to increase cooperation on clean energy and alternative fuels.
