On 11/11/2022, Joe Biden traveled to Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt to deliver remarks at the 27th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Biden struggles to read from giant teleprompter: “In fact, the International Energy Agency recently concluded that our significant climate investment will, quote, help turbo-charge the emer- — the ener- — the — excuse me — “turbo-charge the emerging global clean enery [sic] — clean energy economy.” I was reading their quote, sorry. (Laughter.)”
Biden apologized for pulling out of the anti-American Paris Climate Accord, “From my first days in office, my administration has led with a bold agenda to address the climate crisis and increase energy security at home and around the world. We immediately rejoined the Paris Agreement. We convened major climate summits and reestablished — (applause) — I apologize we ever pulled out of the agreement”
In egypt, Joe Biden says it’s “more urgent than ever that we double down” on climate mandates, “driving up global inflation. Against this backdrop, it’s more urgent than ever that we double-down on our climate commitments. Russia’s war only enhances the urgency of the need to transition the world off its dependence on fossil fuels. True energy security means every nation”
Joe Biden praises “climate czar” John Kerry for anti-fossil fuels work, “I want to thank — I want to thank one proud American veteran, a life-long public servant and dear friend, and, literally, one of the most decorated men to fight, Special Envoy for Climate, John Kerry. John. (Applause.) John, your commitment, your passion, your diplomatic expertise have been absolutely critical — absolutely critical to delivering incredible progress on climate issues over the past two years. And I thank you, pal. I thank you for being my friend.”
Biden brags money to others: low & middle-income countries, to help Egypt elevating its climate ambition
“That’s why, last year, I committed to work with our Congress to quadruple U.S. support to climate finance and provide $11 billion annually by 2024, including $3 billion for ADAPTION.
And that’s why the fund — Emergency Plan for Adaptation and Resilience — PREPARE, we call it — to help more than half a billion people in developing countries respond to climate change. We’ve already requested more than $2 billion for the PREPARE this year. I am going to fight to see that this and our other climate objectives are fully funded.
Today, as a down payment, we’re announcing more than $150 million in initiatives that specifically support PREPARE’s adaptation efforts throughout Africa, including Adaptation in Africa effort that Egypt and the United States launched together in June. This includes support for expanding early warning systems to help cover Africa, broadening access to climate finance, providing disaster-risk protection, strengthening food security, mobilizing the private sector, and supporting a new training center in Egypt to accelerate adaptation across the efforts all across the continent. My administra- — (applause) —
My administration has also made the United States the first-ever contributor to the Adaptation Fund last year, and this year we’re doubling our pledge to bringing our total commitment to $100 million.”
