President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping will be absent from the U.N. Climate Change Conference (COP28) which takes place from Nov. 30 until Dec. 12 in the United Arab Emirates. World leaders are gathering at the summit with a number of crucial issues on the agenda.
"President Biden promised a 'whole of government' approach to the climate crisis after taking office. But his absence at the COP28 meeting signals a lack of interest in the dangers of the ongoing climate crisis. Given that the United States is the world's largest emitter, this should be an international scandal," says Matthew Huber, professor of geography and the environment.
