Summit participants were called on to prepare a plan on how their countries intend to strengthen the fight against climate change.
US President Joe Biden said that, among others, Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping were invited to the virtual climate summit, although he has not yet spoken to them personally about this. About this on Friday, March 26, reported press service of the White House.
“Not yet (did not say – ed.), But they know they are invited,” Biden said.
It is noted that in general, 40 world leaders were invited to take part in the aforementioned online meeting, which is organized by Washington on April 22-23. The talks will be broadcast live.
“The Climate Summit will highlight the urgency as well as the economic benefits of more decisive action in the fight against climate change. It will mark a major milestone towards the 26th Conference of the Parties to the Framework Convention on Climate Change,” the press release said.
At the same time, the summit participants, including the leaders of a number of states, as well as the head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and the President of the European Council Charles Michel, called for a plan on how their countries intend to strengthen the fight against climate change.
Reportedly Swedish eco-activist Greta Thunberg opposed Biden’s policies by climate. She called on the head of the White House to treat the climate problem as a crisis.
