Former President Barack Obama will deliver remarks on Monday at COP26 in Glasgow in a return to the world stage centered around the climate crisis
Former President Barack Obama will deliver remarks on Monday at the UN climate conference in Glasgow in a return to the world stage centered around the climate crisis.
The speech at the international climate summit, called COP26, will put the threat of climate change into a broader context, Obama spokeswoman Hannah Hankins said in a previous statement.
Biden reentered the Paris agreement after former Trump pulled the United States out of it, and apologized to his fellow world leaders in remarks on the first day of COP26."I guess I shouldn't apologize, but I do apologize for the fact that the United States -- the last administration -- pulled out of the Paris Accords and put us sort of behind the 8 ball," the President said last week in Glasgow. CNN's Isaac Dovere, Jeff Zeleny and Kate Sullivan contributed to this report.
