Biden commits billions to global climate efforts.

President Biden has pledged $500 million to help Brazil end deforestation of the Amazon rainforest and called on other countries to step up their efforts to fight climate change. The US is taking several steps to limit global warming, including scaling up clean energy technologies and cutting carbon emissions by 50-52% by 2030. The administration acknowledged that it would need Congress to approve the international aid. Biden emphasized that Congress had already approved $1 billion in new funding to the United Nations’s Green Climate Fund to help developing countries fight climate change.
