preview

(CNN)US climate envoy John Kerry is traveling to China this week to discuss potential joint US-China efforts on climate change, according to two administration officials. Kerry's visit, less than a month after Biden administration officials with Chinese officials for a tense meeting in Alaska, puts the climate crisis at the top of the Biden administration's foreign policy priority list as they also commit to competing with China and challenging them on human rights.
