China and US can 'come together' on climate: Kerry

Wednesday, 6 September 2023



NAIROBI, Sept 05 (AFP): US climate envoy John Kerry said Tuesday that he hoped Washington and Beijing "could come together" in the fight against global warming, at a landmark summit in Kenya aimed at promoting Africa's potential as a green powerhouse.
"I do hope that China and the United States, the two largest economies in the world, the two largest emitters in the world, I hope we could come together" on the issue of climate change, Kerry told reporters.
"Our hope is that climate will be recognised for what it is. It is not a bilateral (issue) ... It is a universal threat to the planet," he said.
