Companies and research institutes from China and the United States signed deals on eight joint projects for coping with climate change just before a China-US high-level annual meeting opens on Wednesday.
The projects address carbon capture, usage and storage, hydro fluorocarbon (HFC) reduction, and the move toward low-carbon cities and a low-carbon model for the cement industry, (Xinhua) reported.
The deals marked some of the achievements by the China-US climate change working group, launched during US Secretary of State John Kerry's visit to China in April 2013 and aimed at enhancing China-US cooperation on climate change.
The working group will report to senior Chinese and US leaders attending the sixth China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue, to be held in Beijing on Wednesday and Thursday.
