The U.S. government is strongly committed to addressing climate change through a range of ambitious initiatives and policies which align with and support global efforts to mitigate the impacts of climate change and transition to a more sustainable and resilient future, he said.

The US’ proactive approach to climate risk modeling and preparedness is an essential component of efforts to address the challenges posed by climate change, the ambassador mentioned.

"Through this, we engage experts and stakeholders in discussions of climate change impacts, which include more frequent and severe weather events, rising temperatures, increase in the sea-level, and changing precipitation patterns," he said.

The Biden-Harris administration has unveiled a comprehensive set of actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat the climate crisis that included rejoining the Paris Agreement, clean energy infrastructure, energy efficiency, electric vehicles, environmental justice, regulatory actions, climate diplomacy, carbon pricing, and financial incentives.

"We support young climate champions making a significant and positive difference in the fight against climate change," said the US envoy.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said, “Climate is not a trading card, it’s our future.”

But he and President Biden also make clear that no country can solve the climate crisis alone, Haas said.
