The US President also said, his administration has fulfilled and “surpassed the pledged that we would deliver $11 billion per year by 2024 to fight against climate change.”
Biden made the statement as he visited the Amazon Rainforest, saying, “I’m proud to be the first sitting U.S. President to visit the Amazon rainforest”.
According to President Biden: “Each minute the world is chopping down the equivalent of 10 soccer fields worth of forests.
That’s why my Administration has been a leader internationally in the fight to end and reverse deforestation by 2030.
“We don’t have to choose between the environment and the economy.
You can do both.
We’ve proven it.
“I pledged that we would deliver $11 billion per year by 2024 to fight against climate change.
We not only kept that promise.
We surpassed it.
“Our forests and national wonders are the heart and soul of the world.
Let’s preserve them, for our time and forever, for the benefit of all humanity.”
