Details & Support

Our climate change diplomacy work is supported by two ideas: in order for progress to endure, change must happen at all levels; and in an age of globalization, mutual understanding and collaboration across national boundaries are a necessity.

We work with decision makers on all levels of government and policy experts in China and the US – and other nations – to gain a deeper understanding of environmental policy and to find grounds for cooperation.

Needs:
Bring Chinese and American decision makers and experts into a collaborative partnership to promote innovation on climate change policy.

Approach:
Build more opportunities for knowledge sharing so to realize common goals and then craft strategies to work together.
