"A Guide To Biden's Climate Summit"

"The world's top emitters will convene tomorrow — and the setting might as well be a virtual chess board.

President Biden's climate summit will gather three dozen leaders from countries with their own motivations related to domestic politics, international trade and, sometimes, altruistic intentions toward global warming.

The United States is not the knight. At least not yet.

Central to the agenda will be whether the United States commits to the type of aggressive emissions cuts that it's pushing for from other countries — and then whether it can fulfill those promises."

Sara Schonhardt reports for E&E News April 21, 2021.
