"Biden-Harris Administration Urges Global Climate Action at COP28, Announces $3 Billion Pledge"

The Biden-Harris Administration is leveraging the United States' historic climate leadership to urge countries to accelerate global climate action at the 28th U.N. Climate Change Conference (COP28). They will announce new initiatives, including a $3 billion pledge to the Green Climate Fund, to galvanize global efforts to achieve a resilient, 1.5°C future. The administration's ambitious domestic climate action, including the Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, puts the U.S. on track to achieve its emissions reduction targets. They are also pursuing additional federal actions to further reduce emissions. The administration's climate agenda has stimulated clean energy manufacturing, created jobs, and attracted private investment. At COP28, they will focus on advancing domestic climate action, bolstering global climate resilience, responding to climate impacts in vulnerable countries, accelerating global climate action, mobilizing finance, and promoting women's leadership in tackling the climate crisis.
