Joe Biden administration to pay all pending dues for climate change cause under Paris Agreement: US envoy John Kerry

US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry on Thursday said that the US’ aim is to raise climate change-related ambitions among concerned nations and accelerate the use of new and green technologies.

In an exclusive discussion with India Today, John Kerry said that the Biden administration will pay all pending dues and give additional funds to the cause of climate change under the Paris Agreement. “We are working with the largest asset managers and banks to put money on the table from the private sector,” he said.

“Despite [former United States’ president Donald] Trump pulling out without any signs or rational from the Paris agreement, most US governors continued to support the agreement,” the US envoy said, adding that the Biden administration was now determined to make up for the lost four years.

Climate change has been a major area of focus for US President Joe Biden. After taking charge as the president, Biden, on January 20, announced the return of the United States to the Paris climate accord.
