The Stanford King Center on Global Development and the Stanford Center on China’s Economy and Institutions (SCCEI) present a special event on the potential for China and U.S. collaboration on climate change.

China and the U.S are critical for global action on climate change. Together, the two countries created up to 40 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2019, and both countries have significant global influence. This event highlights several important challenges for climate action at the start of the Biden Administration. How can the China-U.S. cooperation on climate be revived, in light of the current bilateral relationship, as well as new innovations in both technologies and policies for mitigating climate change?

The special event will feature Steven Chu, William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of Physics and Professor of Molecular & Cellular Physiology in the Medical School at Stanford University, and be moderated by Gretchen C. Daily, Bing Professor of Environmental Science and co-founder and faculty director of the Natural Capital Project at Stanford University.

Following the event, SCCEI and the King Center will host a virtual reception for audience members to continue the conversation in small breakout rooms. Registration for the reception is recommended but not required, and the Zoom meeting link will be distributed at the end of the lecture as well.
