The United Nations is the ideal forum for Beijing and Washington to build the international political will to combat climate change, the UN envoy to China said, ahead of Thursday’s leaders’ summit on the issue.

Siddharth Chatterjee, who became the UN’s Resident Coordinator to China earlier this year, said there were promising signs the international community was heading towards a low-carbon future, and called on the two powers to abandon confrontation and instead build consensus on climate change and other global challenges.
