The Center on Global Energy Policy and the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law hosted a discussion on Meeting China’s Climate Goals. In November 2014, US President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping announced an historic agreement to limit greenhouse gas emissions from their two countries. On the eve of President Xi’s visit to the US and summit with President Obama, this event looked at the opportunities and challenges China faces in meeting its climate goals. How can China shift its economy away from coal-fired power generation, improve energy efficiency and increase the share of low carbon energy sources in its economy? How can the US and China work together to promote their shared climate objectives? What role will climate change play at the Obama-Xi summit?

President Donald Trump has made energy a clear focus for his second term in the White House. Having campaigned on an “America First” platform that highlighted domestic fossil-fuel growth, the reversal of climate policies and clean energy incentives advanced by the Biden administration, and substantial tariffs on key US trading partners, he declared an “energy emergency” on his first day in office.
While he hasn’t released an official plan, Trump’s playbook the last time he was in office and his frequent complaints about clean energy offer clues to what’s ahead.
