Today, we issued a Client Alert summarizing the White House Climate Change Summit from last week. We are replicating it below for the benefit of our blog readers.
President Biden hosted the Leaders Summit on Climate (Climate Summit) on 22-23 April. The Climate Summit is a next step in the President’s plan to employ a “whole of government” approach to combat climate change. The Climate Summit, which was attended by 40 world leaders, also shows that the United States intends to become a global leader in the fight against climate change, both at home and abroad. During the meeting, the U.S., the other invited governments, and key stakeholders set ambitious goals for investing in climate solutions, supporting innovation, and creating new economic opportunities in climate action.
On Day One, President Biden fulfilled his commitment to rejoin the Paris Agreement. Days later, he took executive actions to ensure we tackle the climate crisis at home and abroad – all while creating jobs and strengthening our economy. This week, he held a historic summit with 40 world leaders to show that America is back.
Over the course of two days and eight sessions, President Biden convened heads of state and government, as well as leaders and representatives from international organizations, businesses, subnational governments, and indigenous communities to rally the world in tackling the climate crisis, demonstrate the economic opportunities of the future, and affirm the need for unprecedented global cooperation and ambition to meet the moment.
