China and U.S. Reach Landmark Agreement on Climate Change (Nov. 11): After weeks of discussion, China and the U.S. reach a landmark agreement on climate change. The plan is announced in Beijing by both President Xi Jinping and President Obama. The agreement includes a commitment for the first time by China to stop its emissions from increasing by 2030. One way China plans to achieve that goal is to use clean energy sources, such as windmills and solar power, as 20% of the country's total energy by 2030. Also in the plan, the U.S. sets new goals for carbon emissions reductions, pledging to reduce emissions 26-28% by 2025. The number one and two carbon polluters in the world, China and the U.S. hope to set the stage for other countries to follow their example, with the end result being a new global accord. To avoid future conflicts, the two leaders also agree on a military plan for navigating U.S. and Chinese planes and ships off China's coast as well as cutting tariffs on technology items.
