Toward China-Japan-U.S. Cooperation



CENTER FOR NORTHEAST ASIAN POLICY STUDIES EVENT

Developing Clean Energy Markets: Toward China-Japan-U.S. Cooperation





EVENT SUMMARY


In recent years, the United States and China have engaged in high-profile discussions and collaborated on various aspects of clean energy. The United States and China have also separately worked with Japan. However, these nations—the world's three largest economies and three of the four largest energy consumers—have not worked together in a trilateral format.
