U.S. must lead global response to climate crisis: Biden

Washington: After signing an executive order to halt new leases for oil and gas exploitation on federal land, U.S. President Joe Biden said the world needs a unified response to the climate crisis and Washington must lead the climate response globally.

“We desperately need a unified response to the climate crisis, because there is a climate crisis. We must lead the climate response. We know what to do. We just got to do it,” Mr Biden said.
