As the world convenes in New York for the 80th United Nations General Assembly and Climate Week 2025, the urgency to accelerate climate action and advance sustainability has never been greater. The United States and China—responsible for nearly 40% of global emissions and at the forefront of clean energy, technology, and finance—hold a decisive role in shaping the global pathway to a sustainable future.
Forging a Common Future in US-China Climate Action will bring together senior policymakers, corporate leaders, investors, and next-generation changemakers to drive forward solutions that transcend borders. This year’s forum expands beyond dialogue to highlight concrete partnerships, breakthrough innovations, and investment strategies that can accelerate the transition to net zero and long-term sustainability.
