California has been a leader in regulating air pollution and other climate-related issues, Newsom said in opening remarks Thursday.
"But we recognize the limits of subnational leadership. We need more partners. And I’m here in that light and in that spirit of partnership and also humility, recognizing we don’t have all the answers," the California governor said.California and China issued a declaration on Wednesday pledging to work together to combat climate change, including in offshore wind, advanced energy storage technologies and zero-emission vehicles, according to the text.
Newsom was greeted in Beijing with a warmth and friendliness rarely seen between U.S. and Chinese officials. On Wednesday, he met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, as well as other senior leaders including top diplomat Wang Yi and Vice President Han Zheng. Newsom has highlighted climate as an area where both sides needed to cooperate, as it concerns the survival and future of the human population.
Governors of California, which has an economy larger than most countries, have a long history of climate collaboration with China. Democrat Jerry Brown and Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger also traveled there to swap knowledge on reducing air pollution and emissions. Brown also met Xi Jinping in 2017.
