How can the USA and China cooperate and learn from each other to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?

The document argues that as the two largest greenhouse gas emitters, the USA and China must cooperate to mitigate climate change. It proposes specific mechanisms for collaboration, including a joint clean energy research institute, the removal of trade tariffs on renewable components, and the establishment of exchange programs between subnational governments, NGOs, and private companies to share expertise on clean energy infrastructure and regulation.

• The author suggests that the USA and China could establish a joint clean energy research institute to develop technologies including carbon capture and storage, solar panels, green buildings, and batteries for storage and electric vehicles.
• Cooperation on climate mitigation would be signaled by the avoidance of trade restrictions, specifically tariffs on Chinese solar panels and other renewable energy components.
• Exchange programs involving think tanks, NGOs, companies, and local or state/provincial governments could facilitate the sharing of knowledge regarding financial incentives, urban design, infrastructure, and regulations for clean energy.
