It's not too late to register to join the Center for American Progress today at 12:00 p.m. ET for the second installment of our China Policy Virtual Roundtable Series. The world demands that the United States and China, the top historical emitters and the two largest economies, move with greater seriousness and urgency to tackle the climate crisis. CAP Senior Fellow [Dave Rank]( will moderate a conversation with CAP Senior Vice President for National Security and International Policy [Alan Yu]( and Director of the Georgetown School of Foreign Service’s Science, Technology and International Affairs Program [Joanna Lewis]( on where and how the two sides can accelerate action in both competition and collaboration. This discussion will happen just as [John Podesta,]( former president and founder of CAP and current senior adviser to the president for international climate policy, prepares to travel to China in early September to engage with Chinese officials on accelerating climate action with the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change conference (COP29) on the horizon. Upcoming roundtables in this series will address [technology competition]( and [Taiwan policy]( other focus areas from CAP’s [report]( on a progressive, principled, pragmatic China policy.
