Biden Will Meet With Economic Powers to Launch New Climate Initiatives
On Friday, President Biden is meeting virtually with world leaders on climate issues, and is expected to launch several climate initiatives in the process.
The meeting, slated for Friday morning, will include 19 other countries, including China, Australia, Germany, the United Kingdom and South Korea, senior officials told reporters on Thursday night. They will also be joined by the European Union.
China will be represented not by leader Xi Jinping, but by the country’s counterpart to U.S. climate envoy John Kerry, an official said.
