NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)<\/a> — Jiangsu Broadcasting Corporation (JSBC) is presenting a new Sino-U.S. co-produced documentary Two Coasts, One Climate<\/a>, which explores environmental protection, the clean energy transition, and climate action in Jiangsu Province, China, and California, USA. The 50-minute documentary will premiere on Travelxp, SKY TV Channel 178 in the UK, beginning September 9, 2026. <\/p>\n

Presented entirely in English, the documentary is directed and written by American conservation photographer and environmentalist Kyle Obermann. <\/p>\n

\"Two<\/a> Two Coasts, One Climate: A Sino-U.S. Documentary Showcases Climate Action in Jiangsu and California <\/p>\n

Across Two Coasts, One Shared Climate Mission <\/p>\n

Jiangsu and California lie on opposite sides of the Pacific and share similar latitudes and geographic characteristics. Both are economically developed regions with a strong commitment to green development. <\/p>\n

Taking a trans-Pacific perspective, Two Coasts, One Climate<\/a> documents the two regions’ efforts to advance the green transition while highlighting the ways in which their experiences and approaches can complement one another. <\/p>\n

The documentary explores six key areas, showcasing practical, locally tailored approaches to environmental and climate action: <\/p>\n

Ecosystem Conservation: The red-crowned crane and P\u00e8re David’s deer habitats in Yancheng, Jiangsu, and the elephant seal colonies along California’s Central Coast. <\/p>\n

Wind and Solar Power: Offshore wind farms along the Jiangsu coast and “fishery-solar hybrid” projects in Lianyungang, alongside wind farms and solar ranches in California’s mountainous regions. <\/p>\n

Energy Storage: A photovoltaic power station in Nantong, integrated solar-storage-charging bus stations in Changzhou, the pumped-storage hydropower station in Liyang, gravity-based energy storage in Rudong, and residential rooftop solar power in California. <\/p>\n

Hydrogen Energy: The industrial hydrogen demonstration zone in Zhangjiagang, hydrogen-powered bicycles in Changzhou, and hydrogen-powered vehicles in San Francisco. <\/p>\n

Carbon Capture and Storage: A major coal-fired power carbon-capture project in Taizhou and a project in Lianyungang that converts captured carbon dioxide into green methanol. <\/p>\n

Ecological Restoration: The transformation of a former mining site in Yixing into a public park, the conversion of aquaculture areas back into wetlands in Dongtai, Yancheng, and ecological restoration efforts in the San Francisco Bay Area. <\/p>\n

A Crane Named “California” <\/p>\n

The documentary concludes where it began\u2014with the red-crowned crane and P\u00e8re David’s deer habitats in Yancheng. <\/p>\n

When California Governor Gavin Newsom visited Yancheng, Jiangsu, a red-crowned crane accompanied him and the visiting group along the way. He named the crane “California.” <\/p>\n

The moment serves as a fitting symbol for the documentary’s central message: No single region, system, or culture has all the answers. But by working together, we can piece together new pathways toward a shared future. <\/p>\n
