Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
China, US unveil ambitious climate change
goals
Indeed a breakthrough to one of the most
serious and critical global challenges. Combined, China and the U.S. contribute
45% of the greenhouse gas emissions, 29% and 16% respectively. But they had
never agreed or joined to the efforts to set and work for reduction targets of
greenhouse gasses that EU and other countries have been working on under The
United Nations Climate Change Conference.
At least, the agreement by the two largest
greenhouse gasses contributors is a positive move towards the COP21 that will
be held in Paris, France in 2015. However, is such a bilateral agreement
without coordinating or consulting with others in the world an appropriate
process? Are more global agenda going to be decided by the two giants? Will they
be as influential as or even more influential than the Permanent Members of the
UN Security Council, or P5?
Enjoy reading and learning about this
historic move by the two giants.
