Biden’s World Climate Summit Must Include a Pledge to Tackle Methane Emissions
President Biden has come out swinging on climate change. In his first months as president, his administration has rejoined the Paris Agreement, appointed domestic and international climate czars, and this week proposed an “American Jobs Plan” with sweeping investments in greener infrastructure.
