摘要
作为中美关系中的一个领域,气候合作经历了从无到有,从次要到主要,从边缘到核心的转变过程。中美作为当今世界温室气体的主要排放国和最主要经济体,双方自2009年以来在该领域的合作与交流无疑对2015年年底巴黎气候大会的成功召开和《巴黎协定》的顺利签订作出了积极贡献。尽管仍存在诸多分歧、面临诸多挑战,但巴黎气候大会在全球气候治理中具有承上启下的意义,也对未来全球气候治理制度做出了重要安排。因此,在《巴黎协定》签订之后,中美双方的合作将会在两个方面得以持续:一是重点推动前期合作成果的落实,二是在新协定框架下推动地方层面、技术层面以及更具体领域的气候合作。可以认为,中美气候合作将是推动全球气候治理进程的关键动力。对中国而言,中美气候领域的沟通合作和分歧管控对维护双边关系的整体稳定也具有重要作用,对中国参与全球治理也有积极的借鉴意义。
Climate cooperation has changed from a peripheral topic to a catchphrase in the Sino-U.S. relationship. As the world's two largest economies and greenhouse gas emitters, cooperation and exchanges between China and the United States since 2009 have played a positive role in facilitating the 2015 Paris climate conference and the subsequent Paris climate deal. Despite significant disagreements and unaddressed challenges, the Paris conference is a pivotal international event for global climate governance and the Paris accord is an important institutional arrangement for future global climate governance. Post-Paris cooperation between China and the United States could be sustained and enhanced in two ways: promoting the full implementation of their earlier consensus and advancing climate cooperation at the local and technical level and in more specific areas under the Paris framework. Sino-American climate cooperation is the primary driver of the global climate governance process. For China, full and honest communication and cooperation and effective dispute management regarding climate issues between the United States and China will not only positively contribute to a stable bilateral relationship but also help China learn from best practices for its deeper participation in global governance.
