The US–China joint declaration announced at COP26 has given political impetus to controlling methane by 2030.
The focus will be on monitoring and calculating emissions, and on policy measures.

A new report by Asia House explores four key areas where the UK and China can cooperate on decarbonisation.
Global climate change risks are growing and will increasingly feed into broader financial stability risks across economies. This report presents four key recommendations for UK-China coordination on decarbonisation, in order to help mitigate against climate impacts.
The two countries should elevate their cooperation on greater use of green finance, including by the further de-risking of green projects through blended finance. This includes new green financing tools and products with a focus on scalable solutions across asset classes.
The two countries’ financial systems’ depth (in the case of the UK) and liberalisation (in China’s case) ideally situates them. Additionally, linking emissions trading systems (ETS) would accelerate cooperation between jurisdictions and the growth of international carbon markets. Improvement of price discovery mechanisms is key.
The outlook comprises a myriad of risks. These include a continued lack of investable projects to facilitate reduction in CO2 emissions, waning political will and resources at a time when emerging and developing countries, which are most vulnerable to climate change, are coping with economic scarring from COVID-19.
