UK Energy Minister Ed Miliband Visits China for Climate and Energy Talks

The visit aims to reset UK-China relations while fostering collaboration on clean energy and addressing global climate challenges.

Ed Miliband will meet with Chinese officials over three days to discuss clean energy cooperation and climate change ahead of the Cop30 summit in Brazil.
The UK seeks to revive a decade-old clean energy partnership with China, focusing on carbon capture, hydrogen power, and renewable energy infrastructure.
China, the world's largest carbon emitter, continues to expand coal power, complicating global climate goals despite its leadership in renewable energy installations.
The visit is part of the UK's broader strategy to reset relations with Beijing, balancing cooperation on climate with concerns over human rights and security issues.
The UK government hopes to influence China's climate policies while showcasing its own ambitious decarbonization measures, including the recent closure of its last coal power plant.
