China, Germany hold dialogue on climate change, green transition
BEIJING -- The first high-level dialogue under the China-Germany dialogue and cooperation mechanism on climate change and green transition was held in Beijing on Saturday.
Several key outcomes were announced following the dialogue. The two sides will initiate provincial-level cooperation on green transition and establish a working group on industrial carbon reduction.
The two countries will also collaborate on demonstration projects to enhance energy efficiency in key sectors, according to a statement released by China's National Development and Reform Commission.
China expressed readiness to further enhance cooperation with Germany on energy efficiency, the circular economy, industrial carbon reduction and energy transition during the dialogue.
Germany is willing to explore further collaboration with China in areas such as renewable energy, smart grid development, and the production of zero-carbon and low-carbon products, according to the statement.

Talks are well underway in preparation for the next major international meeting on climate change, 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28), scheduled to begin Nov. 30 in the United Arab Emirates.
Much like last year’s COP27, finances — specifically, aid to developing nations — will be at the center of conference deliberations.
The conference faces an even greater sense of urgency brought on by the Sept. 8, 2023, release of the first global stocktake, which calls for accelerated action to meet the goals set in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement (COP21).
