November 2, 2021–U.S. President Joe Biden addresses the COP26 in Scotland. Here is a clip of his speech from yesterday.
“We’re planning for a both short-term sprint to 2030 that will keep 1.5 degrees Celsius in reach and for a marathon that will take us — take us to the finish line and transform the largest economy in the world into a thriving, innovative, equitable, and just clean-energy engine of net-zero — for a net-zero world.

We’re also going to try to do our part when it comes to helping the rest of the world take action as well. We want to do more to help countries around the world, especially developing countries, accelerate their clean-energy transition, address pollution, and ensure the world we all must share a cleaner, safer, healthiest planet. And we have an obligation to help.”
“More than 70 countries have already signed up to support the rapid reduction of methane pollution, and I encourage every nation to sign on. It’s the simple [single]-most effective strategy we have to slow global warming in the near term. “
