United States President Joe Biden signed the first executive acts in the Oval Office on Wednesday. Among them was a document reversing the decision of former US President Donald Trump to withdraw the US from the Paris climate agreement.
Joe Biden signed an agreement on Wednesday to re-join the US to the Paris climate agreement. It will take 30 days for the United States to officially return to the agreement.
“By withdrawing from the climate agreement, we have strayed off track in the last four years,” said John Podesta, adviser to former US President Barack Obama, who worked on the Paris Agreement. “We are entering the international arena with a credibility deficit,” he added.
French President Emmanuel Macron encouraged a return to the Paris climate agreement on Wednesday. “We will be stronger to face the challenges of our time. Stronger to build our future. Stronger to protect our planet. Welcome back to the Paris Agreement!” - wrote the president of France.
