What does the world want from the US?

President Biden has invited the world’s major polluters to a
summit on Earth Day (April 22nd). It may be the biggest climate
summit ever organised by an American leader. On the campaign
trail last year, Mr Biden said climate change was his “number one
issue.” Now, the pressure is on for him to make a big
announcement.


But while the US has rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement, it has
no official plan to hit the Paris targets. Frantic work is
underway in the US to come up with something that satisfies the
President’s lofty campaign rhetoric but can actually get through
America’s polarised, gridlocked political system.


Ahead of the summit, The Climate Question is reaching out to
climate diplomats and experts from China, Bangladesh, the EU and
beyond, to hear what the world expects from the US on climate
change.
