BEIJING, July 9 -- The U.S.-China Climate Change Working Group (CCWG) on Wednesday submits a report to the Special Representatives of the Leaders of the U.S. and China for the Strategic and Economic Dialogue(S&ED).
The sixth round of China-U.S. S&ED in Beijing on Wednesday was co-chaired by Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang and State Councilor Yang Jiechi, as well as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew.
According to the report, the CCWG launched an enhanced policy dialogue and five action initiatives in July 2013, including emission reductions from heavy-duty and other vehicles, smart grids, carbon capture, utilization, and storage, energy efficiency in buildings and industry, and collecting and managing greenhouse gas emissions data.
During Kerry's visit to Beijing in February 2014, the two countries agreed on implementation plans for all five initiatives.
In addition to making important progress on the five initiatives, the two countries also agreed to collaborate through enhanced policy dialogue, including the sharing of information regarding their respective post-2020 plans to limit greenhouse gas emissions.
The CCWG is also strengthening dialogue related to domestic climate policy. To advance this objective, the U.S. and China held a number of bilateral meetings, including an enhanced policy exchange on July 8, 2014, to discuss domestic climate change policies,the report said.
The CCWG is chaired by Xie Zhenhua, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), and U.S. special envoy for climate change Todd Stern, who meet throughout the year for in-depth discussions with the active participation of relevant government ministries on both sides.
The two sides plan to hold the next CCWG meeting in early 2015.
