Biden to Skip COP28 Climate Summit

President Joe Biden will not be attending the Cop28 climate summit, which could potentially harm his reputation among young voters leading up to the 2024 election. While no reason was given for his absence, it is speculated that the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine are occupying his time and energy. Vice President Kamala Harris is also not expected to attend, but several top US officials will represent the country's interests. Biden's absence at Cop28 may impact his popularity, considering his focus on environmental policies and his introduction of the Inflation Reduction Act, which has invested billions into renewable energy and climate adaptation.
