Biden urges global leaders to unite on climate action with new funding for developing nations
President Joe Biden announced a $325 million contribution to help developing countries transition away from fossil fuels during a climate summit in Rio de Janeiro. This funding is part of a broader effort to combat climate change and support vulnerable nations. Biden's initiatives come as he faces challenges from President-elect Donald Trump, who has previously rolled back climate policies and criticized such efforts. Trump has indicated plans to withdraw from international climate agreements, which could hinder Biden's proposals. Despite these obstacles, Biden emphasized the importance of global cooperation in addressing climate change. He called on G20 leaders to support funding for pandemic recovery and highlighted the role of forests in combating climate issues.
