There is no way to solve the world’s most pressing problems without effective dialogue and cooperation between the United States and Chinasaid this Friday a spokesman for the UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, after Beijing has broken off climate talks with Washington.
The fight against climate change has been a key area of cooperation between the two superpowers.
However, China has suspended the talks as part of his escalation of retaliation for the visit of the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, to Taiwan.
Pelosi’s brief visit this week to Taiwan, which China claims as its own, angered Beijing and triggered chinese military drills on an unprecedented scale in the seas and air around the island.
The freeze came at a time when US and Chinese officials stepped up their climate engagement, in eve of the COP27 climate summit to be held in Egypt in November.
China and the United States are the two largest emitters of greenhouse gases. and its earlier bilateral engagement on climate change helped pave the way for the Paris Climate Agreement in 2015.
