Woodrow Chris Photographed in San Francisco, September 12th (Sun Qiuxia) Local time on September 12th, in the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the US government, the United States, the Energy Foundation supported the 2018 Global Climate Action Summit "China Corner" opening ceremony On the other hand, California Governor Jerry Brown pointed out that California's zero emissions before the end of 2045 cannot be separated from China's cooperation.
Brown further pointed out that China can work with California companies and scientists to invent and commercialize clean technologies to achieve zero emissions. For example, Chinese and American companies can invest in battery technology, power grids, and more efficient buildings.
Brown also said that unless China can invest a lot of money, "we can achieve this goal."
It is worth mentioning that although the Trump administration announced the withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Agreement in 2017, California is at the forefront of global response to climate change. On September 10, local time, Brown signed a bill requiring California to gradually abandon fossil fuel power generation and achieve 100% renewable energy generation by the end of 2045.
Brown pointed out that California's population has reached 4 million. "If you are not smart in environmental development, how to get along with nature in the future is a big challenge."
Brown has visited China many times to seek further cooperation with China on climate change. Brown pointed out that "China is so important to California, in fact China is very important to all parts of the world."
He also said that American car companies particularly like to build large cars, but the bigger the model, the more fuel they consume. "We need zero-emission cars."
Brown pointed out that China is promoting new energy vehicles, and the proportion is growing rapidly every year. This is a big encouragement for American automakers who can build more electric cars.
Although China and the United States are currently facing trade frictions, Brown believes that by sharing the opinions of scientists and other experts, China and the United States can find a way to jointly address climate change. "Our ultimate goal is to cooperate in as many ways as possible."
However, Brown also pointed out that responding to global climate change requires political leaders, business leaders and scientific leaders to realize that climate change is an increasingly irreversible issue that needs to be stopped by more ambitious and more active efforts.
