USAID Administrator and Obama confidante Samantha Power called on Joe Biden to “accelerate” a “more ambitious” climate agenda than what’s already outlined in the Paris Climate Accords.
Speaking from the United Nations’ Conference of Parties (COP27) climate summit in Egypt on Friday, Power claimed Biden must continue investing billions of dollars to dramatically lower emissions.
“[W]hen the president came to COP last year — to the climate summit last year, he was able to talk about America coming back, coming back to the Paris treaty, coming back to efforts to dramatically curb emissions when there had been so much rollback of the regulations that had been put in place in the Obama years,” she told MSNBC host Andrew Mitchell.
