We call on President Biden to fulfill his duty to the American people, the international community, and communities whose lives and well-being are impacted by the dirty fossil fuel projects he has been backing, writes Allie Rosenbluth of PriceofOil.

Voters will not ignore Biden’s disastrous climate track record unless he starts keeping his climate promises and paves the way for a cleaner, safer, and more equitable future with cheaper energy bills and good jobs.

More than half of OECD countries, including the United States, signed onto the COP26 commitment to end international public finance for fossil fuels, creating strong foundations for a progressive member to table a proposal for oil and gas restrictions and kick off negotiations on the topic. This is an urgent matter. OECD members still provideannually in export support to fossil fuel projects, five times their clean energy support.

At a time when we must rapidly and equitably phase out fossil fuels, it is alarming to see Biden consistently breaking their climate commitments and pushing for the global expansion of LNG and oil, as well as holding back progress at the UNSG Climate Ambition Summit and the OECD. Every new fossil fuel project is incompatible with a liveable future.
