U.S. climate envoy John Kerry and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed in a phone call on July 14 that the United States and Russia should work together on climate issues, the U.S. State Department said in a statement.

Kerry and Putin "underscored the importance of the United States and Russia working together across a range of climate issues," the statement said, adding that they also affirmed the importance of working toward a successful UN climate change conference scheduled to take place in Glasgow, Scotland, in November.

A Kremlin statement said Putin told Kerry that the climate problem was "one of the areas where Russia and the United States have common interests and similar approaches."
