President Biden told a U.N. global summit on climate on Friday that the U.S. is committed to reducing its emissions and leading the fight against mass flooding, droughts and other climate catastrophes around the world as he confronts a political shakeup at home that will complicate his green agenda and pledges.
Speaking to the COP27 in Egypt, Mr. Biden vowed the U.S. will meet its target of a 50% reduction in emissions by 2030 compared to 2005 levels. He said the U.S. is committed to the Kigali Amendment to reduce the production of hydrofluorocarbons and boasted that suppliers to the federal government must disclose their emissions and climate risks.
