China and Australia have agreed to work closely together on Climate Change.
Considering the future of Kyoto is largely, if not entirely dependent, on China, India and the rest of the developing world reaching agreement with the developed, this is a great way for Australia to show leadership on the Climate Change issue.
We are only circa 1.5% of global emissions but we can certainly still be seen as a leader on this issue, a strong relationship with china will cement this perception.
Here is an extract from the statement and a link, it was hard to chose an extract because it is all so exciting and worth a read. Here is a link to the entire statement.
Penny Wong and Kevin Rudd have done an AWESOME job for us here people.
cheers

Australia and China stressed the great importance they attached to the issue of climate change and their willingness to strengthen cooperation to jointly meet the challenge of climate change.
The two sides reaffirmed their commitment to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol. Both sides reiterated, in accordance with the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities and consistent with the Bali Roadmap, the need for developed countries to continue to take the lead in reducing GHG emissions beyond 2012 and the necessity to assist developing countries in enhancing their capability to address climate change.
Australia and China recognised the need for intensified negotiations to meet the timeframes set out in the Bali Roadmap and resolved to work closely together in relevant upcoming bilateral and multilateral forums in support of the UNFCCC negotiations.
Australia and China have a lot in common in relation to climate change. The partnership and cooperation between two sides will focus on the relative strengths and common interests for making contribution to global efforts to address the challenge of climate change.
