Planet needs China, US on the same side

Countries should work together on nature-based solutions, experts say

Climate experts are calling on China and the US to tackle climate change together through integrating nature-based solutions to the warming of the planet.

Such solutions, which harness the power of nature to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, hold significant promise but need more research and investment, said Ken Alex, director of Project Climate at the Center for Law, Energy & the Environment at the University of California, Berkeley.

"This is a large opportunity for both the US and China and allows for cooperation and learning in both directions," he told China Daily.
