UK should sign a formal agreement to co-operate with China on fighting climate change, says think tank
BRITAIN should sign a formal agreement to co-operate with China on fighting climate change, a think tank has recommended.
Researchers at international affairs think tank Chatham House urged ministers to deepen climate co-operation with Beijing, saying the “with us or against us” approach “belongs in the cold war.”
In a paper due to be published next week, Chatham House said a formal deal would enable “bolder and more confident engagement,” allowing Britain and China to better share expertise.
