Europe and China Agree to Take Action on Climate Change and Nothing Else in Tense Beijing Summit
CHINA, JUL 23 – The EU and China will reaffirm their climate commitments despite trade and geopolitical tensions, presenting a united front contrasting with the U.S. stance, officials said.
- At a Beijing summit on Thursday, EU and China are set to sign a joint climate declaration, EU diplomats told Reuters, reaffirming their commitment to tackle climate change.
- Ahead of this year's U.N. COP30, both the European Union and China missed a February U.N. deadline to submit new emission pledges, highlighting ongoing challenges in climate commitments.
- In their joint declaration, EU and China affirm support for the Paris Climate Agreement and call for strong action at COP30 in Brazil.
- This joint move contrasts with the stance of the U.S. administration, which pulled out of climate negotiations amid tensions over trade and Ukraine.
- Despite climate cooperation, no further deals are expected, as EU diplomats believe neither the EU nor China is likely to budge on key issues, indicating a broader stalemate.
