US Presidential Envoy Kerry, who has returned to the Paris Agreement, an international framework for combating global warming, said, "All countries must raise their goals together," and will work on further efforts to reduce greenhouse gases. I called for cooperation.
The Biden administration in the United States returned to the Paris Agreement, an international framework for combating global warming, which former President Trump left.
"I'm proud, happy and at the same time feel a special responsibility," said President Kerry, a special envoy for climate change at the White House, at an online event held today, given the loss of four years due to the absence of the United States. With humility and aspirations, we will rejoin our international efforts. "
"The Paris Agreement alone is not enough, and all countries must raise their goals together. 17 major emitters, such as China, India, Russia and Japan, need to step up their efforts and reduce emissions." He stressed that he would work with the international community, saying that further efforts are needed to reduce greenhouse gases.
In addition, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said that the United States "G20 = plays an important role with all members of the 20 major countries", showing concrete plans for greenhouse gas reduction, and funding developing countries. He expressed his hope of leading the aid.
The United States will hold a summit of major emitting countries in April this year to clarify greenhouse gas reduction targets by then.
