US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry prior to meeting with European Commission vice-president in charge for European green deal Frans Timmermans in Brussels, Belgium, March 9, 2021. — Oliver Hoslet/Pool via ReutersWASHINGTON, April 14 — US climate envoy John Kerry will visit China this week in the first trip there by the Biden administration, seeking to raise global ambitions despite soaring tensions with Beijing on other fronts.
“We have big disagreements with China on some key issues, absolutely. But climate has to stand alone,” Kerry told CNN. With the world badly off track to meeting the goal, Biden hopes that the summit will result in stronger pledges in advance of UN-led climate talks in Glasgow at the end of the year. China alone produces almost 30 per cent of carbon emissions, far more than any country, after decades of rapid industrialisation.
