Will the superpowers unite on climate? | Tell Me More

The United States and China play leading roles in the global response to climate change: Together, they account for 43 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions. And it’s not just actions within their borders that matter; they are highly influential in the world, too. Many industrialized countries look to the US for cues on climate action, and many developing countries look to China. Jariel Arvin (@jarielarvin), a fellow at Vox, discusses what the US and China are doing on climate, including President Biden’s attempt to reset America on the environment post-Trump; what’s going on with China’s Belt and Road Initiative; and what’s next for the two superpowers. **Update** Over the weekend, the US and China signed a rare statement of cooperation on climate, which includes an agreement to enhance their respective climate actions in the 2020s. You can read more about the update here. Tell Me More is hosted by Emily Stewart and produced by Sofi LaLonde.
