Climate Envoys From China, U.S. Expected to Meet at Davos

China’s special climate envoy Xie Zhenhua is expected to meet his U.S. counterpart John Kerry at the long-awaited World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting, which began Sunday. The encounter at the event in the Swiss town of Davos will be their first face-to-face meeting since November’s climate talks in Glasgow.

Xie and Kerry are among officials and experts due to speak Tuesday at a session called Safeguarding Our Planet and People, part of the five-day meeting at the Swiss ski resort that will focus on issues regarding the Ukraine crisis, the Covid-19 pandemic and climate change, among others.
