Us, Japan call for global fund for clean technology research
The United States and Japan have called for a global fund for clean technology research and have called for a G8 initiative so that poorer countries can do their part in fighting climate change, which is blamed for droughts, rising seas and more intense storms.
The United States and China, the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitters, announced plans for a joint clean energy research center Wednesday, raising hopes of better cooperation in what is becoming an increasingly competitive industry.
