Description

*U.S. applicants should apply here.

*China applicants should use the Stanford e-China application.


The U.S.–China CoLab on Climate Solutions is an active lab for collaborative practice engaging both Chinese and American students in one class as co-learners.

In this program, students will: 

  • study and experience the principles and best practices of cross-cultural collaboration;  

  • explore existing models for U.S.–China collaboration specifically; 

  • learn the fundamentals of the climate change issues facing our planet; 

  • assess local, bilateral, and global climate action so far; 

  • actively imagine their own place in the future of U.S.–China relations; and

  • gain climate co-lab experience and skills to apply toward future studies and professions.

The program will feature guest speakers from the Stanford University faculty and other world-class institutions, sharing their expertise on collaborative models and strategies; environmental impacts; clean energy and energy markets; climate justice; and other topics.

Coursework will be highly interactive and discussion-oriented, with an emphasis on small-group assignments, culminating in a collaborative project that could be implemented in the students’ own communities. The program will be conducted online, using Zoom video conferencing and the Canvas course platform. Real-time meetings will be held on Friday evenings (U.S.) / Saturday mornings (China).

This is a joint program of SPICE’s Stanford e-China (for students in China) and China Scholars Program (for U.S. students). Spring 2025 will be the second time this program has been offered.
