China-US Carbon Neutral Technology Innovation Summit

Sinoaccess Group, The George H. W. Bush Foundation for U.S.-China Relations, The National Center for Sustainable Development (NCSD) and China Investment Association’s Energy Investment Professional Committee (EIPC) co-hosted a very first online video Summit on 16th of June, 2021 Beijing time.

At present, the threat of global climate change is escalating, and extreme climate disasters are becoming more frequent. For example, the United States suffered a blizzard and extreme cold at the beginning of the year, which led to a large-scale paralysis of power infrastructure, seriously affecting the lives of all the American people. During the COVID-19 pandemic global greenhouse gas emission reductions have been significantly curtailed at the cost of untold billions of dollars of lost economic activity.

China’s pledge of “carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutral by 2060” has been elevated to a national strategy, the United States has rejoined the “Paris Agreement”, and both China and the United States and the international community have become increasingly focused on a future of decades to come to fight the climate crisis. On April 16, 2021, China and the United States issued the “China-U.S. Joint Statement Addressing the Climate Crisis.” Both parties agreed that “China and the U.S. are committed to cooperating with each other and working with other countries to resolve the climate crisis.” The change from “climate change” to “climate crisis” marks the urgency and magnitude of the realization of the climate issue and a need for combined global crisis coordination. 

The conference brought industry experts, academia researchers, business groups together to address the challenges and future cooperation under the Net-Zero and Carbon Neutrality theme. More than 2000 industry participants from both US and China jointed the video conference with a simultaneous translation.
