　　According to the China-US Joint⁴ Announcement on Climate Change released last November, the United States agreed to cut greenhouse gas emissions⁵ up to 28% below 2005 levels in the next 10 years and China agreed to peak carbon emissions and increase the non-fossil fuel share of China's energy supply by 2030.

　　Pritzker says that fulfilling these commitments will prove critical to the future of the earth and set an example for other nations.

　　Pritzker, together with Deputy Secretary of Energy, Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, is now visiting China, leading a U.S. trade mission focusing on the development of smart low-carbon cities and smart low-carbon growth technologies.

　　Randall, for her part, emphasizes the importance of developing low-carbon technologies.

　　"Low cost, low carbon technology has potential to change the world wide picture on climate. Driving down the costs of green technologies enables ambitious policies and ultimately makes clean energy goals much easier to achieve. Lowering the cost of these technologies also enables less developed economies to join in the shift toward a low carbon future, greatly amplifying⁶ the impact we can have."

　　She adds that since China and U.S. are the worlds' two largest economies and also two largest carbon producers, they have the power to shape the future of the earth.
