President Biden invites 40 world leaders to climate summit, including Singapore’s PM Lee

The Biden administration intentionally looked beyond its international partners for the talks, an administration official said.

US officials and some others give the Obama administration’s major-economies climate discussions some of the credit for laying the groundwork for the Paris accord. The US summit isn’t just “about the deliverables, it really is about engaging at the leader level … sending a signal from the US perspective about how serious we are, and putting our own cards on the table in a significant way,” the first official said, referring to Biden’s upcoming announcement on a more aggressive US emissions target. “And hoping that countries will join us.”

The 40 invitees also include leaders of countries facing some of the gravest immediate threats, including low-lying Bangladesh and the Marshall islands, countries seen as modeling some good climate behavior, including Bhutan and some Scandanavian countries, and African nations with variously big carbon sink forests or big oil reserves.
