"California and China hold the keys to solving the climate crisis," Newsom said.
California has played a major role in maintaining climate ties between China and the United States, the world's two biggest greenhouse gas emitters.
China and the United States relaunched top-level bilateral climate talks earlier this year after a hiatus triggered by the visit of former House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan, the democratically governed island that China claims.
