U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who is visiting China, called for cooperation between the U.S. and China on climate change.
Secretary Yellen met with Chinese officials on the 8th and said climate change is at the top of the global challenge process.
Secretary Yellen stressed the importance of cooperation between the United States and China, especially on climate finance.
Minister Yellen said that climate finance must set goals efficiently and effectively, and urged cooperation with international climate funds, saying that if China supports international climate organizations such as the Green Climate Fund (GCF) together with the United States and other countries, it will have a great impact.
The Green Climate Fund is an international financial organization created to reduce carbon dioxide and respond to climate change in developing countries.
China, along with the United States, is the world’s second largest economy, but it is still classified as a developing country, and has maintained the position that support for poor countries’ climate change response is the responsibility of developed countries.
Meanwhile, US Ambassador to China Nicholas Byrne, who was with Secretary Yellen that day, said he was looking forward to the visit of US climate special envoy John Kerry to China.
