The US president also defends his country's climate leadership at the UN summit COP27.
It is the duty and responsibility of every nation to act on climate, US President Joe Biden has said at the UN summit COP27.
He claimed the US is a global leader on climate after it passed sweeping laws to tackle global warming."The climate crisis is about human security, economic security, environmental security, national security and the very life of the planet," said Mr Biden. He also pledged more money for poorer nations suffering from climate disasters, including drought and flooding. But the sums remain far short of what the US, along with other developed nations, have promised.
