The next four years are significant in deciding the trajectory of the Earth’s climate. In this webinar, the California-China Climate Institute will host a conversation on the future of Chinese climate policy, as influenced by the world's largest carbon emitters: the United States and China. 

We discussed the fate of the U.S.-China relations under a Biden-Harris Administration, and what it will mean for the future of climate change mitigation.  

We welcomed policymakers, academics, advocates and experts working on climate policy in China and the US, both at the national and subnational levels to join us in this important webinar.
