Climate Change Policies of the EU and the US:Divergences and Cooperation Prospects

With rising non-traditional security challenges posed by climate change,the world has gradually realized that climate change is real and brings multiple threats and challenges.Global climate governance is increasingly important in international affairs and has drawn more attention and even competition for interests among major powers.In terms of their strength and international responsibility,the climate policies of the United States and the European Union and how they interact have a significant impact on the trend of global climate governance.Since taking office,US President Joe Biden has rectified his predecessor’s climate policy by promoting a“Green New Deal”and investing more in energy transition at home,while actively advancing climate diplomacy and rebuilding US leadership worldwide.Correspondingly,there might be new changes to US-EU interaction in the area of climate change.The analysis of climate change policies of the EU and the US is essential not only for understanding the trend of global climate governance,but also for managing China’s climate cooperation with the two sides and the broader trilateral relations.
