TIL Desk/World/Washington/ US President Joe Biden on Wednesday said the climate change threat will be the centre of his national security and foreign policy.
Biden on Wednesday signed a series of executive orders and took steps to address this challenge, which he identified as one of the most pressing threats of the era.
Look, this executive order I’m signing today also makes it official that climate change will be the centre of our national security and foreign policy, Biden told reporters at the White House.
Biden has named former Secretary of State Kerry, John Kerry, as special presidential envoy for climate. With him the world knows how serious I am, he said.
Kerry, he said, was instrumental in negotiating the Paris Climate Agreement, which his administration rejoined on day one.
Today’s executive order will help strengthen that commitment by working with other nations to support the most vulnerable to the impact of climate change and to increase our collective resilience, he said.
