The two counterparts agreed to open talks on the climate issue. They agreed that there should be no politicization in such sensitive issues for the sustainability of the world.
Climate change has been alarming the world about its disastrous effects. Climate change is the problem of the whole world. Therefore, all the countries need to show responsibility in tackling this issue.
There should not be any blame games. Actions speak louder than words. Thus, states should show the world about their climate change policies by taking concrete actions instead of making just slogans.
The American special envoy for climate stated that due to the nature of the problem of climate change, we have been in contact with Chinese officials. He further said that the US is talking with China continuously on climate change due to the urgency of the issue.
John Kerry agreed with the Chinese officials on taking the actions instead of making empty slogans. He emphasized that the job is not done until the implementation of the policies.
Climate change has created unprecedented challenges for the world. It has united the world. The whole world is seeking to cooperate in order to deal with the climate change challenges. It has also promoted multilateralism policies and opposed unilateral decisions such as of American withdrawal of the Paris Agreement. Therefore, after huge criticism, US President Joe Biden decided to rejoin the agreement.
