th rising non-traditional security challenges posed by climate
change, the world has gradually realized that climate change is
real and brings multiple threats and challenges. Global climate
governance is increasingly important in international affairs and has drawn
more attention and even competition for interests among major powers. In
terms of their strength and international responsibility, the climate policies
of the United States and the European Union and how they interact have a
significant impact on the trend of global climate governance. Since taking
office, US President Joe Biden has rectified his predecessor's climate policy
by promoting a Green New Deal and investing more in energy transition
at home, while actively advancing climate diplomacy and rebuilding US
leadership worldwide. Correspondingly, there might be new changes to US-
EU interaction in the area of climate change. The analysis of climate change
policies of the EU and the US is essential not only for understanding the
trend of global climate governance, but also for managing China's climate
cooperation with the two sides and the broader trilateral relations.
Major Differences in EU and US Climate Change Policies
Since climate change was put on the international political agenda in the
1980s, the US and the EU, as major powers and developed economies,
Dong Yifan is Assistant Research Fellow at the Institute of European Studies, China Institutes of
Contemporary International Relations (CICIR); Sun Chenghao is Assistant Research Fellow at the Institute
of American Studies, CICIR.
