A Manila-based climate and environmental advocacy group on Friday said they ‘welcome the winds of change’ in the United States ushered in by the Biden administration, while calling on China to participate in the US-initiated Climate Leaders summit on April 22-23.
“We welcome the winds of change in the US ushered in by the Biden administration. The new US government’s positions and pledges on climate change and fossil fuels represent a world of difference from the Trump era,” Lidy Nacpil, coordinator of the Asian Peoples’ Movement on Debt and Development (APMDD), said.
In a statement, the APMDD urged China to participate “meaningfully” in the Climate Leaders Summit to show its commitment to pave the way for a “fossil-fuel-free Asia and fossil fuel-free future”.
