Joe Biden signs climate directives, announces April summit
U.S. President Joe Biden on Wednesday signed a series of orders aimed at quelling rising global temperatures and announced that the United States will host a climate summit in April.
The recently inaugurated president said the US had to take a leading role in the fight against climate change.
Biden, who signed an executive order on his first day in office to have the US rejoin the Paris climate agreement, has appointed several environmental experts to key roles within his administration - such as former secretary of state John Kerry as his special climate envoy, a position that now holds a seat on the National Security Council.
