The United States and China, the world’s two biggest carbon polluters, have agreed to cooperate to curb climate change with urgencySEOUL, South Korea -- The United States and China, the world’s two biggest carbon polluters, agreed to cooperate to curb climate change with urgency, just days before President Joe Biden hosts a virtual summit of world leaders to discuss the issue. We all need to see what happens.”China is the world’s biggest carbon emitter, followed by the United States. Their cooperation is key to the success of global efforts to curb climate change, but frayed ties over human rights, trade and China’s territorial claims to Taiwan and the South China Sea have been threatening to undermine such efforts. It’s unclear how much Kerry’s China visit would promote U.S.-China cooperation on climate issues. Major emitters of greenhouse gases are preparing for the next U.N. climate summit taking place in Glasgow, U.K., in November.
