What does the world want from the US?
President Biden has invited the world\u2019s 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 \u201cnumber one issue.\u201d 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\u2019s lofty campaign rhetoric but can actually get through America\u2019s 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.
