US and China Agree to Resume Stalled Cooperation on Climate Crisis

Sudan Events – Sumaya Sayed

China and the United States have agreed to resume stalled cooperation on the climate crisis, curbing methane and plastic pollution before this month’s crucial COP28 UN climate summit held in Dubai.
Wednesday’s announcement follows a meeting between US climate envoy John Kerry and Chinese counterpart Xie Zhenhua earlier this month at the Sunny lands resort in California.
Following a pause driven by political differences, the world’s biggest polluters pledged to establish a bilateral working group on climate action and ensure the success of COP28.
“The United States and China recognize that the climate crisis has increasingly affected countries around the world,” a joint statement said on Wednesday.
