Joe Biden’s Special Envoy for Climate John Kerry on Saturday pledged to halt the building of coal power plants and shut down existing ones in America to fight climate change.
Kerry made the remarks at the annual United Nations summit known as COP28, held in Dubai.
“We will be working to accelerate unabated coal phase-out across the world, building stronger economies and more resilient communities,” Kerry said in a statement.
“The first step is to stop making the problem worse: stop building new unabated coal power plants.”
Kerry said America would be joining the Powering Past Coal Alliance, a coalition of 60 countries that promised to accelerate the phasing out of coal power plants in a bid to limit global warming to 1.5 Celsius.
