President Joe Biden’s two-day climate change summit, which was timed to coincide with Earth Day in the US and continues tomorrow, is intended to rebuild bridges with most of world that were damaged by four years of Donald Trump’s climate-denial policies. However, it also looks likely to burn a few bridges as well.
Biden took executive action on his first day in office to reverse the Trump withdrawal from the Paris climate accord and announced a virtual ‘Leaders Summit on Climate’ to galvanise a global effort to tackle the climate crisis.
Along with domestic policy reversals, Biden is looking to use the meeting to burnish American claims to leadership again on this critical international issue. In support of this aim, critics as well as proponents of international action have been included.
