The United States played host to the Leaders Summit on Climate Thursday, as the nation seeks to reassert itself as a global leader on climate action. China, the world’s biggest emitter, announced an ambitious target of its own vowing to curb carbon emissions by 2060. Earlier I spoke with Jared Blumenfeld, California’s Secretary for Environmental Protection and started by asking him about China’s goals.

Joining the discussion:

• Changhua Wu is Executive Director of the Professional Association for China’s Environment.
• Barbara Finamore is a Senior Visiting Research Fellow at the Oxford Institute of Energy Studies.
• Sweta Chakraborty is a risk and behavioral scientist.
