We are standing at an inflection point
in world history. None of us can escape
the worst yet to come
if we fail to seize this moment, Joe Biden, United States President, via Independent.
This is the decade that will
determine the answer.

Independent points out that Biden's remarks
come after the US unveiled its long-term
strategy to combat the climate crisis.
That strategy reportedly includes a goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
To state the obvious, we meet with the eyes
of history upon us and a profound question
before us. It’s simple: Will we act? Will we do
what is necessary? Will we seize the
enormous opportunity before us? Or will
we condemn future generations to suffer, Joe Biden, United States President, via Independent.
A White House memo on November 1,
noted that the president would, “work with Congress to provide
$3 billion in adaptation finance”, for developing nations.
Biden added that it was important for
the U.S. to do more to help developing
countries adapt for climate challenges
