A groundbreaking report released globally on Friday emphasizes the importance of fostering environment and climate cooperation between China and the European Union (EU). Titled \"China-EU Cooperation on Environment and Climate: Progress and Prospects,\" the study was a collaborative effort by the Research Center for Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, the National Energy Conservation Center, the Xinhua Institute, and the Institutes of Science and Development under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The report advocates for strengthening the green partnership between China and the EU, proposing it as a cornerstone for their comprehensive strategic partnership. By enhancing bilateral cooperation on environmental and climate issues, the partnership aims to become a new engine driving economic and trade relations, cultural exchanges, and setting a global example for sustainable practices.
Central to the report is the recommendation to elevate the China-EU High-Level Environment and Climate Dialogue as the leading mechanism for future collaborations. This approach encourages the involvement of multiple entities, levels, and areas to address pressing environmental challenges effectively. Additionally, the report suggests integrating environment and climate topics into other high-level dialogues, such as the China-EU High-Level Economic and Trade Dialogue, to promote green trade and sustainable economic growth.
By prioritizing a mechanism-led approach, the report envisions a robust framework that not only strengthens bilateral ties but also contributes significantly to global environmental and climate initiatives. This strategic focus underscores the commitment of both China and the EU to address climate change and promote sustainability on a worldwide scale.
