China News Agency, Berlin, November 8 (Reporter Peng Dawei) The United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, UK, has passed halfway. Experts from many countries participating in the conference told reporters from China News Agency in the first week of the conference that China, the United States and Europe are cooperating in the field of climate. It is of vital importance.

The interviewed experts pointed out that China, the United States and Europe have a lot of room for cooperation in emission reduction, and they can send positive signals to the global economy in particular through cooperation.

　　"It is absolutely vital that China, the United States and Europe work together." Simon Sharpe, deputy director of the Energy, Transport and Nature Department of the British Government's COP26 Special Agency, said that China, the United States and Europe have huge market power, and the three parties are reducing emissions. In this regard, there is a lot of room for cooperation, especially the ability to send positive signals to the global economy through cooperation.

Taking road traffic as an example, he pointed out that regulators in Beijing, Brussels and Washington manage one-half of the total global auto market. If the three parties can signal unity on the issue of transportation transformation, this will affect global automakers. s Choice.

On issues such as deforestation, the three parties can also play a huge role.

　　Claire Healy, director of the Washington Office of E3G, a climate change think tank, pointed out that all parties need to jointly formulate a set of global economic rules that meet future net zero emissions requirements, including climate mechanisms, trade systems, international development systems, economic systems, etc. "All this can only be achieved on the basis of cooperation and mutual coordination. China, the United States and Europe and all parties should work for it on various platforms. China and the United States have cooperated in the past, and they are now maintaining cooperation. For example, in the 20 countries Cooperation within the Group (G20) Sustainable Finance Working Group.”

　　"The important point of COP26 is to rebuild trust and confidence in the multilateral system and multilateral process in the context of years of delays and geopolitical tensions." China Dialogue Chief Executive Officer and visiting researcher at the Royal Institute of International Affairs Sam Gill ( Sam Geall) analyzed that China still adheres to its commitment to the Paris Agreement and climate goals, because China has widely realized that it is in China’s own national interests to take action to address climate change, which will ultimately help China’s economy move towards The upstream movement of the value chain can also help China have an advanced position in the technical field and act as the world's leading exporter of clean technology.

"This means that China will continue to implement its climate goals."

　　He added that the first phase of the COP15 meeting of the Convention on Biological Diversity held in Kunming, China not long ago is also very important because of the synergy between climate and nature protection.

　　"How to achieve economic recovery, protect the ecological environment, and respond to climate change in the post-epidemic era has become a prominent question that everyone in the international community is concerned about and must be answered and the question of the times." Senior Energy, Environment and Resources Project, Royal Institute of International Affairs Guo Jiangwen, a researcher and director of the China-UK Climate Risk Assessment Cooperation Project, told reporters from China News Agency that only by helping each other and working together is the right direction.

"Major economies such as China, the United States and Europe should look at and handle their relations with a broader mind and perspective, and strive to build a new type of major-power relationship that is non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect, and win-win cooperation, leading a new pattern of climate change geopolitics. "

　　"China, the United States and Europe are like the'tricycles' of international climate action. Without these three parties, it is impossible to achieve effective and sustainable progress." said Li Shuo, senior policy adviser of Greenpeace Global and an observer of the Climate Change Conference non-governmental organization.

　　At the same time, international experts generally appreciate China's considerable progress in the field of climate.

Simon Sharp said that in the past two years, people have seen very important progress. In the energy field, China will strongly support the green and low-carbon development of energy in developing countries and will no longer build new overseas coal power projects.

"This is a great improvement."

　　He believes that China's "14th Five-Year Plan" is optimistic. China takes climate goals seriously and has formulated transformation goals and roadmaps on an industry-by-sector basis.

Over time, the carbon peak will be achieved first, and then carbon neutrality will be achieved.

"I think in the end we will achieve our goals faster than imagined."

　　Guo Jiangwen said that China's decision to stop new coal-fired power plants overseas is an important step in achieving the goal of adapting investment and financing to climate change in the Paris Agreement.

China also emphasized the need to mobilize resources to support the development of renewable energy, which will also encourage multilateral action and guide more countries to join this action.

　　"We and China have close cooperation in many fields such as innovation, industry, and land use. We all know that the challenges are serious, but I think that as long as the world's most important economies can work together in a certain field, this will make me There are reasons to be hopeful." Simon Sharp said.
