特朗普的气候变化政策与中国的应对

Abstract:U.S. President Trump’s domestic and international climate change policies have been basically clear. He is increasingly weakening and even overthrowing the Obama administration’s domestic and international climate change policies in a systematical way by using his comprehensive administrative power as a U.S. president. Trump’s announcement of withdrawal from the Paris Agreement can best demonstrate his negative response to climate change. Trump’s passive climate change policies were mainly driven by the U.S. domestic politics and his personal preferences rather than any burdens on the U.S. imposed by the Paris Agreement. Trump’s passive climate change policies posed quite a few challenges on China and Sino-U.S. relations. One of them is that China faces mounting pressure from the international community to assume global climate leadership after the U.S. withdraws. This paper proposed that China should reach the high ends of its domestic climate targets under the current Nationally Determined Contributions；internationally，facilitate the rebuilding of global shared climate leadership，replacing the G2 with C5. Meanwhile，China needs to keep the U.S. engaged in climate cooperation.
