國際能源署(International Energy Agency,IEA)稱中國是「實至名歸的再生能源龍頭
」。IEA上個月的報告預測,2021年時,全世界超過1/3的太陽能和風力發電將位於中國。
布朗4日與四川政府官員在成都會面,簽署姐妹省協議,加強低碳科技、環境保護和乾淨
能源發展方面的合作。該協議將在成都成立加州四川乾淨能源創新中心和發展加州中國乾

6月1日布朗在南京國際新環境保護科技峰會致詞,並與江蘇省官員簽署乾淨科技協議,加
強區域氣候合作和行動。
本週稍後,布朗將與中國科技部主持Under2乾淨能源論壇,並與乾淨能源部長級官員一起
參與活動。該會議是年度國家能源部長級會議,將有20多國高階代表出席。
Under2乾淨能源論壇以巴黎協定目標——控制暖化2°C以內為名,招募市長、省長、州長

States, Cities Intensify Climate Protection Efforts
SACRAMENTO, California, June 4, 2017 (ENS)
As President Donald Trump pulls the United States out of the UN’s Paris
Agreement on Climate, U.S. states and cities and subnational jurisdictions on
six continents are filling the void with their own protective climate actions.
On June 1, California Governor Jerry Brown, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo
and Washington State Governor Jay Inslee announced the formation of the
United States Climate Alliance, a bipartisan coalition of U.S. states
committed to upholding the Paris Agreement and taking aggressive action on
climate change.
Ten U.S. states and eight U.S. cities that together account for nearly
one-third of America’s population and GDP have pledged to achieve the U.S.
Paris Agreement goal of reducing emissions 26 to 28 percent from 2005 levels
by 2025.
The United States Climate Alliance also pledged to meet or exceed the cuts in
carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from electricity generation under the Obama
administration’s Clean Power Plan, which has been rejected by Trump.
To extend the activities of subnational governments like California, Governor
Jerry Brown is spending a week in China to expand his state’s close climate
ties with that country and reaffirm California’s commitment to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions.
Throughout the trip, Governor Brown will meet with high-level regional and
national government officials, including leaders from China’s Ministry of
Science and Technology and China’s Ministry of Commerce, and sign agreements
to strengthen bilateral cooperation on climate action and clean energy and
technology.
The International Energy Agency calls China “the undisputable global leader
of renewable energy expansion worldwide.” In a report last month, the IEA
forecast that by 2021, more than one-third of global cumulative solar
photovoltaics and onshore wind capacity will be located in China.
Governor Brown today met with top Sichuan Province officials in Chengdu and
signed a new sister-state agreement focused on broadening cooperation on
low-carbon technologies, environmental protection and clean energy
development.
The pact aims to bolster clean technology innovation and financing through
the establishment of the California-Sichuan Clean Tech Innovation Center in
Chengdu’s Tianfu New Area and development of a California-China Clean
Technology Partnership Fund.
The agreement also provides incubator space and market access for California
clean energy and technology companies in Sichuan.
On Monday, the California governor will speak at the International Summit on
New Environment Protection Technology in Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu
Province, and sign a clean technology agreement with provincial officials, to
build greater regional climate collaboration and action.
In Beijing later this week, Governor Brown will host the Under2 Clean Energy
Forum with China’s Ministry of Science and Technology and participate in
events associated with the Clean Energy Ministerial, an annual meeting of
national energy ministers and other high-level delegates from nearly two
dozen countries.
The Under2 Clean Energy Forum expands on the Clean Energy Ministerial by
gathering members of the Under2 Coalition – leaders of cities, provinces and
states, businesses and NGOs around the world – to drive subnational and
non-state action to decarbonize the economy and curb climate change.
Under2 refers to the Paris Agreement’s stated goal of limiting climate
warming to under 2°Celsius as compared with pre-industrial temperatures, the
level of potentially catastrophic consequences.
After just two years in existence, the Under2 coalition now includes 170
jurisdictions on six continents.
These coalition members collectively represent more than 1.18 billion people
and US$27.5 trillion GDP – equivalent to 16 percent of the global population
and 37 percent of the global economy.
Among the Under2 Coalition members are 10 U.S. states and eight U.S. cities
that together account for nearly one-third of America’s population and GDP.
The 10 U.S. state members are: California, Connecticut, Massachusetts,
Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and
Washington.
The U.S. city members are: Austin, Los Angeles, New York City, Oakland,
Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco and Seattle.
The Mayors National Climate Action Agenda, a group of 187 mayors from across
the country, have joined the 10 governors in denouncing President Trump’s
decision to withdraw the United States from the landmark Paris Climate Accord.
They have adopted the historic Paris Agreement of their own accord.
