Abstract

The People's Republic of China, the European Union and the United States of America are responsible for just under half of global greenhouse gas emissions and almost half of global energy consumption. Therefore, Beijing’s, Brussels’ and Washington’s policies have far-reaching implications for global climate and environmental security. International cooperation on climate change has stagnated in recent years; nevertheless, 2021 and 2022 may mark a shift in the global response to the problem, increasing cooperative climate diplomacy. Countries are scheduled to submit revised commitments to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and negotiate at the Conference of the Parties (COP26) and (COP27) to bring global mitigation plans back into compliance with the Paris Agreement targets. While the US has at times been inconsistent in its climate change policy, the EU has remained committed, and China has hastened the transition to low-cost renewables energy. In real life, cooperation, rivalry, and consistency are essential. With the COVID-19 pandemic causing uncertainty in many developed countries and vaccination programs still in their early stages, several factors will determine the priority of climate change action, as well as the level of international climate cooperation and competition: the effects of COVID-19 on energy supply, demand and emissions; the nature and extent of measures in economic recovery packages; and the speed or slowness of the energy transition.
