China\u2019s national Ministry of Ecology and Environment is co-hosting the China Pavilion, a showcase of the country\u2019s efforts to fight climate change.<\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s participation in the summit is the latest episode in the unique partnership it has built with California in recent years. Days after President Trump announced his intention to withdraw the US from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinadialogue.net\/article\/show\/single\/en\/8459-Paris-Agreement-gives-hope-in-fight-against-climate-change\">Paris Agreement<\/a>, California\u2019s governor, Jerry Brown, discussed climate change with China\u2019s President Xi Jinping in Beijing \u2013 sending a strong message to Washington that cooperation between the two powers would continue.<\/p>\n<p>On that trip, and a prior visit in 2013, Governor Brown signed a <a href=\"https:\/\/climatechange.ca.gov\/climate_action_team\/partnerships.html\">slew of MOUs<\/a> (memoranda of understanding) that joined California and China together to mitigate climate change. Since then, China and California have been quietly working together to fund clean technology, shift to electric vehicles, cap and trade carbon emissions, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Their progress, on display in San Francisco this week, is an example of China and the US working together to fight climate change \u2013 despite the tumult of the Trump presidency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What to expect at GCAS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After Trump\u2019s announcement to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, Governor Brown wasted no time in making a counter move \u2013 announcing California would host GCAS.<\/p>\n<p>The summit is imbued with that sense of urgency: it will tell success stories with a focus on the role of non-state and subnational actors while encouraging participants to \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/globalclimateactionsummit.org\/about-the-summit\/\">Take Ambition to the Next Level<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Speeches, panels and announcements of\u00a0new commitments will take place over the course of the three days, marshalled by six co-chairs from the UN and other countries, including China\u2019s special representative for climate change affairs, Xie Zhenhua.<\/p>\n<p>The timing of the summit is deliberate and intended to bolster momentum ahead of 2020, when nations will be called upon to increase the ambition of their climate targets under the Paris Agreement. To propel nations forward, the summit will encourage non-state and sub-national actors to make new commitments.<\/p>\n<p>The China Pavilion will present China\u2019s climate actions and relevant lessons from other geographies, as well as China-California climate cooperation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Funding clean technology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One key event at the China Pavilion will be the launch of the China-California Cleantech Partnership Fund, designed to promote cleantech innovation.<\/p>\n<p>The fund builds on a <a href=\"https:\/\/climatechange.ca.gov\/climate_action_team\/intergovernmental\/MOU-China_Ministry_of_Science_and_Technology.pdf\">MOU with China\u2019s Ministry of Science and Technology<\/a> (MOST) to create a \u201cChina-California Clean Technology Partnership\u201d, signed during Governor Brown\u2019s visit to Beijing in 2017.\u00a0It is also a natural extension of a longstanding trade in cleantech between the two sides. Where clean technologies, such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/03\/21\/opinion\/making-solar-big-enough-to-matter.html?_r=0\">solar PV<\/a>,\u00a0were often developed in the US and manufactured in China, in recent years, Chinese companies have been bringing their innovations to California.

The US companies behind the scooters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/shared-electric-scooters-rolling\/\">were influenced<\/a> by China\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/cities\/9853-bike-sharing-schemes-flourishing-or-running-riot\/\">shared bike<\/a> craze.<\/p>\n<p>The new fund intends to further this cross-pollination of cleantech. According to the agenda for the China Pavilion, the fund will contain four sub-funds: three between California and Beijing, Shenzhen, and Jiangsu province; and one sponsored by GCL, the Chinese solar manufacturer.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/climatechange.ca.gov\/climate_action_team\/intergovernmental\/Jiangsu_Science_and_Technology_Department_Joint_Investment_Plan_for_Clean_Technology_Innovation.pdf\">joint investment plan<\/a> released by Jiangsu province in south-eastern China and California last year provides a preview of what these funds might look like.<\/p>\n<p>According to the plan, parties will communicate funding decisions to each other and agree to fund \u201cmutually beneficial clean technologies that help each participant\u2019s region achieve shared climate change and air pollution reduction goals, as well as facilitate economic growth\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Electric vehicles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ken Alston, investment manager at the California Clean Energy Fund, which is helping establish the China-California funds, says that electric vehicles are a priority for both sides.<\/p>\n<p>China is now the largest electric vehicle market in the world, and California is the largest market in the US \u2013 together making up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-03-27\/how-california-taught-china-to-sell-electric-cars\">over half of global EV sales in 2018<\/a>, according to a <em>Bloomberg<\/em> forecast.<\/p>\n<p>As China looks to go electric, it has turned to California for policy guidance.

As China <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/energy-and-environment\/2017\/12\/22\/16804594\/china-carbon-trading-system\">builds toward launching its national carbon market<\/a>, which will be the world\u2019s largest, it has looked to California for guidance \u2013 California\u2019s state-wide cap and trade system has been running since 2013.<\/p>\n<p>After MOUs signed between California and China on climate cooperation that year, the state hosted many delegations from China\u2019s pilot carbon markets and the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), which was in charge of establishing China\u2019s national market.<\/p>\n<p>Rajinder Sahota, deputy chief of industrial strategies\u00a0at the California Air Resources Board (the regulatory authority managing California\u2019s carbon market), received the Chinese delegations \u2013 she says the Chinese officials came with pointed questions about technical issues to learn from California\u2019s experience.<\/p>\n<p>Sahota says differences in political systems mean that not all California\u2019s lessons are exportable, but that China, the EU, and California have had a very fruitful exchange over the years as each region has sought to fine-tune its cap and trade model.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a general desire for some of the existing programmes to start converging,\u201d Sahota says,\u00a0but linking California\u2019s market to\u00a0China\u2019s could only be properly considered once China\u2019s national market is fully up and running.<\/p>\n<p>At GCAS, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gcas-carbonpricing.com\/program\/\">series of events<\/a> will review the European, Californian and Chinese carbon market experiences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Will China step up?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Heading into 2020, when countries will review their Paris Agreement emission reduction commitments, China is under pressure to signal its intentions.<\/p>\n<p>With China\u2019s claims to leadership and its scale also come inevitable questions \u2013 are the commitments of the world\u2019s largest emitter commensurate? Currently Climate Action Tracker classifies China\u2019s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/climateactiontracker.org\/countries\/china\/\">highly insufficient<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sahota says, \u201cI think it is fantastic that there is going to be a strong showing by China at the summit. To know that large countries at the national level are making that kind of progress is encouraging and welcome especially as a sub-national [government] \u2013 there is only so much we can do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGovernor Brown would like to have new commitments,\u201d says Matt Sheehan, a non-resident fellow at The Paulson Institute and author of a forthcoming book on California-China relations, but the year is crowded with climate events, \u201cso [China] doesn\u2019t want to play all their cards here\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>China watchers and the climate community will be looking to see if China shows its cards at all at the San Francisco summit \u2013 signalling, for instance, plans to upgrade its NDC or raise other sectoral or city-level targets.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, California and China will be celebrating a new milestone.<\/p>\n<p>Zou Ji, president of Energy Foundation China, which is supporting the China Pavilion, said, \u201cAt a time when the Sino-US relationship is facing difficulties, the Chinese central and local governments and the US state governments, academic institutions, enterprises and non-governmental organisations of the two countries continue to maintain and deepen climate cooperation; this gives Sino-US relations positive energy \u2013 it is worth strengthening.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the
