Sentiments shared by the European Council President Donald Tusk: “Today we are stepping up our cooperation on climate change with China, which means that today China and Europe have demonstrated solidarity with future generation and responsiblity for the all planet.”
“We are convinced that the decision by the US to leave the Paris agreement is a big mistake,” Tusk added.
Both sides are expected to renew their commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement.
