The Climate Leaders Declaration and a series agreements were signed Tuesday by US governors and mayor with their Chinese counterparts who attended the China-US Climate Leaders Summit in Los Angeles.


The two-day meeting Takkarist McKinley Jersey , with a full name of "China-US Climate-SmartLow Carbon Cities Summit," was the first of its kind at the provincial and city level between the two countries.


It fulfills a key element of the China-US Joint Announcement on Climate Change by Chinese President Xi Jinping and US Presidents Barack Obama last November, which has a part to implement the climate goal of each country at local government level.


The Summit "shows the determination of both countries to continually deepen and strengthen cooperation on climate change, and to engage city, state, municipal, private-sector Austin Hooper Falcons Jersey , and NGO partners in this critical effort," the White House said.


Yang Jiechi, the Special Envoy of President Xi and US Vice President Joe Biden will attend the closing ceremony Wednesday.


Chinese cities and provinces Beijing, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Sichuan Deion Jones Falcons Jersey , Hainan, Guiyang, Zhenjiang, Jinchang, Yanan and Jilin, and US states and cities including California, Connecticut Vic Beasley Jr Falcons Jersey , Los Angeles, Atlanta, Boston, Portland, Seattle, Houston, Salt Lake City Devonta Freeman Falcons Jersey , Des Moines, Carmel signed the Declaration and other working agreenments, such as the California-China Urban Climate Collaborative (CCUCC) and the Memorandum of Understanding between the cities of Shenzhen and Los Angeles and similar agreements between other cities.


As the world's largest developed and developing nations, the US and China represent about 40 percent of the world's carbon emission, California Govenor Jerry Brown said, and as most of the population are in cities, the actions of cities are very important.


"The summit provides an opportunity for local leaders to exchange their experience of practice and learn from each other Julio Jones Falcons Jersey ," Xie Zhenhua, Chinese special representative on climate change issues, said at a press conference after the opening ceremony.


"I heard that about a dozen of Chinese cities are commited to reach the peak years for carbon dioxide emissions earlier than the national goal by around 2030. It is very impressive, " Todd D. Stern, the Special Envoy for Climate Change at the US State Department, said in his speech at the summit.


China announced to cut carbon dioxide emissions per unit of gross domestic product (GDP) by 60 to 65 percent from the 2005 level by 2030 in its "Intended Nationally Determined Contributions,"submitted earlier this year to the Secretariat of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.


Some US state and city governments also set ambitious carbon-reduction targets.


California announced to reduce emissions by 80 to 90 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. Los Angeles has a goal of cutting emissions to 45 percent below 1990 levels by 2025 Austin Hooper Black Jersey , 60 percent below 1990 levels by 2035 and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050, and the City of Seattle is committed to become carbon-neutral by 2050.


"Cities lead, mayors lead. When we do something, things will be changed," said Houston Mayor Annise Parker.


Several forums and roundtable talks will be held during the two-day summit, discussing city carbon reduction, renewable energy Deion Jones Black Jersey , environmental friendly business and other related topics.


The second China-US Climate Leaders Summit will be held in Beijing next year, Xie said.

Horse riding is an exhilarating experience and one which has been practiced for many centuries. Horses themselves have served us loyally as working animals, pets and even at war. Now, they're appreciated more for competitive sport where both man and animal display an understanding of one another.

For riders, safety is of paramount importance no matter how experienced they may be. A horse can be exceptionally well-trained but there may be instances where a failure in communication, environmental conditions or health problems can pose a risk to safety.

Helmet

Similar to the use of helmets in motorcycle riding, horse riding too requires riders to protect their heads from falls and bumps. Even minor jarring can cause injury to the head and brain. Unfortunately Vic Beasley Jr Black Jersey , some percentage of riders still avoids wearing helmets on the premise that they're too 'hot' and heavy. This simply isn't true as modern helmets are very light and are actually up to 80 percent lighter than old models.

As for the lack of ventilation, it couldn't be further from the truth. Like motorcycle helmets which have undergone huge changes in design, equestrian helmets have also evolved to become very airy and according to studies, you actually feel cooler in a helmet than without one.

When purchasing helmets, look for one that's FEI or Standards Australia-approved. You'll come across models that don't feature a safety standards stamp but have labels like 'for dress only' instead. Know that they're not meant for proper riding. There are cases where consumers have unwittingly bought head gear not designed with safety standards and have ended up paying the ultimate price.

Safety vest

The spine, ribs and inner organs will all take a hard knock if you fall. As bulky and awkward as it feels at first, wearing a safety vest can greatly reduce the risk of serious injury. It's padded for protection and ventilated to prevent the buildup of excessive heat. For occasional riders who don't jump or race Devonta Freeman Black Jersey , vests are not seen as a necessity. However, more pleasure riders are wearing them than before so you should also consider the same.

An appreciated trait of vests is that the bulk doesn't hinder the body or the arms and some wearers report being able to maintain their posture better when wearing one.

At a higher cost, you can purchase vests that come with air canisters which inflate them if you need to sudd.
