"U.S. To 'Make Good' On Climate Finance Pledges, Kerry Tells Leaders"

"AMSTERDAM - The United States will “make good” on financial commitments to developing countries struggling with climate change, top U.S. climate envoy John Kerry told a summit of world leaders on Monday.

Kerry said the United States was “proud to be back” in the global climate discussion, just days after President Joe Biden signed an order to re-enter the 2015 Paris Agreement after the country quit the climate treaty under former President Donald Trump.

Biden’s government “also intends to make significant investments in climate action” both domestically and abroad, Kerry told the virtual Climate Adaptation Summit, hosted by the Netherlands."
