In a historic move, the United States and China, the world's two largest greenhouse gas emitters, announced a breakthrough climate agreement on July 3, 2025, during a virtual summit. The pact, revealed after months of tense negotiations, commits both nations to slashing emissions by 50% by 2035 and achieving net-zero by 2050. Key provisions include joint investments in renewable energy technologies and a pledge to phase out coal-powered plants by 2030. US President and Chinese President Xi Jinping hailed the deal as a 'new era of cooperation,' emphasizing its potential to galvanize global climate action ahead of the COP30 conference. Environmentalists welcomed the agreement but cautioned that implementation remains the true test, citing past failures to meet targets. Critics in the US expressed concerns over economic impacts, particularly in fossil fuel-dependent states. The agreement also includes a $100 billion fund to support developing nations, including Nigeria, in transitioning to green energy.
