摘要

Los angeles—British Prime Minister Tony Blair and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) agreed July 31 to work together to tackle the environmental and economic challenges of climate change. An agreement the two leaders unveiled at a news conference in Long Beach, Calif., calls for the United Kingdom and California to evaluate market-based strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, share technological information, and collaborate on economic and scientific studies.rnFor example, Britain will share best practices on emissions trading and lessons it has learned through the European Union's emissions trading program, Schwarzenegger's communications manager, Adam Mendelson said in a media briefing.
