President
Joe Biden
has anticipated that he will face climate change as "an existential threat", at the time of signing several executive orders to
reverse
the environmental policy of
Donald Trump.
"We have waited too long to deal with the climate crisis," proclaimed Biden, announcing an international summit for
Earth Day
(April 22) on North American soil and devoted to creating "collective resilience."
The US president has ordered a temporary pause and the
review of all oil
and gas exploration on federal soil and has anticipated the elimination of subsidies for fossil fuels.
Biden has also promised the
environmental protection of 30% of the
North American
territory
by 2030 and has announced the transformation of the Government's fleet to electric vehicles.
It has also anticipated the presentation in
Congress
of a plan to promote clean energies estimated at 1.6 billion euros, with 40% of the investments destined to the less favored communities.
The Democrat announced the creation of a cross-sectional "environmental justice" body to address economic and racial inequalities in the face of environmental problems such as climate change and pollution in cities.
"Environmental justice will be at the center of everything we do," said Biden, highlighting how the Earth Day summit will be focused on protecting the nations and peoples most vulnerable to the climate crisis.
During the
Global Adaptation
summit
held this week in the
Netherlands,
the flying ambassador John Kerry promised the return of the United States not only to
the Paris Agreement,
but also to
the Green Climate Fund
(also abandoned by Donald Trump).
Biden has also incorporated climate change into the national security strategy and created an
Office of Climate Policy
in the White House, led by
Gina McCarthy,
former director of the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Another significant appointment was that of Congresswoman
Deb Haaland
as the first secretary of Interior Native Indian (born in
Laguna Pueblo,
in
New Mexico).
At the helm of the Department of Energy, Biden has bet on another woman,
Jennifer
Granholm,
with the fame acquired as governor of Michigan by the impulse of the electrical transition of the automobile sector.
"Facing the problems caused by human action that the climate crisis has created will be an opportunity to create the jobs of the future," declared the US president in his "green" offensive a week after reaching the White House.
