重返《巴黎协定》:美国拜登政府气候政治新变化

Returning to the Paris Agreement:New Changes in Climate Politics of the Biden Administration

拜登上台后,美国的气候政策出现重大调整,最突出表现是重返《巴黎协定》,将应对气候变化列为国家战略的优先事项,并计划恢复奥巴马政府时期的一系列环境法规。这种转变有利于美国国家自主贡献预案的实现,亦可促进其低碳经济发展。对美国重返《巴黎协定》这一重大国际事件的过程追踪,有必要回顾特朗普政府时期的美国气候政治衰朽、分析拜登政府重返《巴黎协定》的动因和气候政治新变化,并展望新时代中美气候政治竞合之前景。

Since Biden took office,a major adjustment has been made to the climate policy of the United States,the most prominent manifestation of which is that the US has returned to the Paris Agreement,made climate change a priority of national strategy,and planned to reinstate a series of environmental laws and regulations enacted by the Obama administration.Such a change is conducive to the realization of the United States’Intended Nationally Determined Contributions(INDC)and also to the development of its low carbon economy.To track the process of the major international event of the United States’return to the Paris Agreement,it is necessary to review the decline of climate politics caused by the Trump administration,analyze the motivation of the Biden administration’s return to the Paris Agreement and the new changes of climate politics,and look into the prospect of the competition and cooperation in climate politics between China and the US in the new era.
