US President Joe Biden promised to halve his country s greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 from 2005 levels at a global climate summit to pressure other polluters to bring their emissions in line with international agreements. The cost of inaction keeps mounting. The United States isn t waiting, he said on Thursday in the opening address of the two-day summit hosted virtually by the White House. He also pledged to double US contributions to global climate finance by 2024 and triple funding for adapting to its effects.
Earth Day and the environmental movement
While more ambitious climate targets are very encouraging indeed, said Prakash Kashwan, a professor of political science who researches climate justice at the University of Connecticut. Big emitters like the US and EU should explicitly recognize the carbon debt they owe the rest of the world instead of using their domestic actions to cajole other countries. Lead from the front by delivering actual emission reductions.
Climate ambition
The 40 world leaders who met virtually for Biden s two-day summit are responsible for 80% of the yearly greenhouse gas emissions that are heating the planet and wreaking havoc in the form of worse droughts, cyclones, floods, heatwaves and wildfires.
US pledges stronger climate action at Biden summit dw.com 2 hrs ago © Provided by dw.com US President Joe Biden signing an executive order on climate change
US President Joe Biden promised on Thursday to halve his country s greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 from 2005 levels, kicking off a climate summit to pressure other polluters to bring their emissions in line with international agreements.
The US has dirtied the atmosphere with carbon dioxide more than any other economy and its citizens have some of the highest carbon footprints in the world today. Though the 50% target is not binding, it raises the US commitment to cutting emissions by about a third and could spur other governments to stop burning fossil fuels sooner.
