Joe Biden will try to assure world leaders that the U.S. can keep its promise to slash greenhouse gas emissions by more than half by the end of the decade, even as the key policies to ensure those reductions remain uncertain, his top climate aides said
Biden, who succeeded former president Donald Trump in January, acknowledged that the United States had not always led by example on climate change.
National Climate Adviser Gina McCarthy said Biden was committed to delivering on the U.S. emissions reduction pledge in large part through a key budget bill that would unleash $555 billion in climate spending. That bill awaits a vote in Congress after months of fraught domestic negotiations. "It's the largest investment to combat the climate crisis in American history. And it's going to let us reduce emissions well over a gigaton - that's 1 billion metric tons - in 2030."
