On January 20, on his first day in office, President Biden signed the instrument
to bring the United States back into the Paris Agreement. Per the terms of the
Agreement, the United States officially becomes a Party again today.
The Paris Agreement is an unprecedented framework for global action. We know
because we helped design it and make it a reality. Its purpose is both simple
and expansive: to help us all avoid catastrophic planetary warming and to build
resilience around the world to the impacts from climate change we already see.
Now, as momentous as our joining the Agreement was in 2016 — and as momentous as
our rejoining is today — what we do in the coming weeks, months, and years is
even more important.
You have seen and will continue to see us weaving climate change into our most
important bilateral and multilateral conversations at all levels. In these
conversations, we’re asking other leaders: how can we do more together?
Climate change and science diplomacy can never again be “add-ons” in our foreign
policy discussions. Addressing the real threats from climate change and
listening to our scientists is at the center of our domestic and foreign policy
priorities. It is vital in our discussions of national security, migration,
international health efforts, and in our economic diplomacy and trade talks.
We are reengaging the world on all fronts, including at the President’s April
22nd Leaders’ Climate Summit. And further out, we are very much looking forward
to working with the United Kingdom and other nations around the world to make
COP26 a success.
