April 22 (UPI) — The Biden administration on Thursday morning will welcome dozens of world leaders for a virtual climate summit that will span two days and establish U.S. plans to address global warming.
The Leaders Summit on Climate opens at 8 a.m. EDT with opening remarks from President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, who are seeking to reassert the United States as a world leader in efforts to limit global warming to 1.5. degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
The first day of the two-day summit falls on Earth Day, and EarthDay.org will wrap three days of climate action on Thursday.
