Abstract: In recent years, China and the United States have maintained close communication in the field of energy and environment, and deepened cooperation through a series of bilateral and multilateral cooperation mechanisms. The dialogue mechanism of China-US clean energy cooperation has been continuously improved; the multilateral mechanism has achieved remarkable results; the government and enterprises have jointly participated, and the scope of cooperation has been more comprehensive. The factors restricting Sino-US energy and environment cooperation mainly focus on political system and ideology, lack of mutual trust, geopolitics, policy and other factors. In the new historical period, China and the United States should deepen energy cooperation, especially in terms of the specific ideas and effective ways, and promote new-type clean energy cooperation.
