CHINA and the United States yesterday signed an agreement that promises greater cooperation in tackling climate change, energy and the environment.

No immediate details were released of the document but US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said it highlighted the importance of climate change in relations between the two nations.
"It also provides our countries with direction as we work together to support international climate negotiations and accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy," Clinton said.

"We all need to take a strategic and long-term view of China-US dialogue and cooperation in these areas," he said.
"I think our two countries have an important contribution to make to the global efforts to tackle climate change, to ensure energy security and to protect the environment and the only planet we have."
