The European Union and China are set to sign a joint climate statement during a summit in Beijing, signaling a coordinated effort to lead global climate action. This agreement aims to strengthen climate cooperation and build momentum ahead of the COP30 summit scheduled for later this year. The joint statement underscores the EU and China's commitment to combating climate change, presenting a unified front as the United States, under President Donald Trump, adopts a less active stance on the issue. Leaders from both parties have issued the statement as a symbolic demonstration of their dedication to addressing environmental challenges.
