加州是美国清洁能源转型的“领头羊”，也是积极参与国际绿色合作的“模范生”，近日获准成为世界自然保护联盟全球首个次国家级成员。双方可在清洁能源、环保材料、碳捕集利用与封存等绿色技术领域加强联合攻关，在绿色债券、气候基金、碳交易等绿色金融领域促进资金融通，携手共建清洁、美丽、可持续的世界。

California is a leader in America’s clean-energy transition and an active player in global green cooperation. It was recently approved as the world’s first subnational member of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. China and California can deepen cooperation in clean energy, green materials, carbon capture, utilization and storage. We can also expand green finance cooperation in green bonds, climate funds and carbon markets. Together, we can help build a cleaner, more beautiful and more sustainable world.
