And no country has a greater capacity—and ambition—to mitigate climate change. This deeply informed, urgently needed book examines the global cooperation such a monumental effort demands and inspires, necessarily focusing on China’s outsize role in the development and dissemination of clean energy technologies. Drawing on decades of work in clean energy and climate technology and policy, Joanna Lewis provides a clear and thorough account of the motivations, science, and politics behind international clean energy technology collaboration—and an in-depth look at why different clean energy partnerships result in different political and technological outcomes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe first comprehensive analysis of international clean energy partnerships with China, \u003ci\u003eCooperating for the Climate\u003c\/i\u003e is based on hundreds of interviews with government officials, researchers, and private companies involved in these collaborative initiatives around the world. Its insights into energy innovation and international relations, as well as global environmental politics, will help international stakeholders navigate the complex political bureaucracy governing clean energy development in China and perhaps chart a productive pathway for moving the world toward a low-carbon future.Acknowledgments ix\u003cbr\u003e1 Cooperating for the Climate 1\u003cbr\u003e2 The Rise of China's Clean Energy Sector 23\u003cbr\u003e3 International Climate and Energy Engagement with China 45\u003cbr\u003e4 The \"Climate G-2\": Climate and Energy Cooperation in the US-China Relationship 81\u003cbr\u003e5 Scientific Collaboration for Climate Diplomacy: The US-China Clean Energy Research Center 117\u003cbr\u003e6 Technical Cooperation Shaping Domestic Energy Policy: Sino-Danish Clean Energy Cooperation and the China National Renewable Energy Center 165\u003cbr\u003e7 South-South Clean Energy Cooperation: The China-Brazil Center for Climate Change and Energy Technology Innovation 201\u003cbr\u003e8 The Role of International Cooperation in Scaling Low-Carbon Energy Technologies 233\u003cbr\u003eNotes 253\u003cbr\u003eBibliography 307\u003cbr\u003eIndex 349“Joanna Lewis persuasively lays out the case for why US–China cooperation is not only possible, but absolutely necessary, presenting myriad examples of how clean energy and climate partnerships worked and how they can work again.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Jerry Brown, Governor of California, 1975–83 and 2011–19\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“A timely and comprehensive summary of the history of China–international climate cooperation, full of lessons learned and guidance for future engagement.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Zou Ji, CEO and President, Energy Foundation China\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“This deeply informative and timely book teaches us about the kinds of climate change and energy cooperation with China that have been important in the past and need to become important again.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Todd Stern, Nonresident Senior Fellow, Brookings Institution; and former Special Envoy for Climate Change\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eCooperating for Climate\u003c\/i\u003e provides a unique, comparative perspective on the role of international cooperation advancing green energy innovation, financing and deployment, offering a much-needed framework on how to advance the global green agenda.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Craig Allen, U.S. Ambassador (retired), and President, US–China Business Council\u003c\/b\u003eJoanna I.
