Yellen Says U.S., China Should Jointly Tackle Climate Change

(Bloomberg) — China and the U.S. should join forces to tackle climate change, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Saturday, pushing for greater cooperation on key issues during a trip aimed at improving their strained relationship.

“Climate change is at the top of the list of global challenges, and the United States and China must work together to address this existential threat,” Yellen said at a roundtable on sustainable finance in Beijing, according to a text of her prepared remarks.
