Joe Biden makes the case for democracies to lead the way on climate crisis during final day in
Glasgow
President Joe Biden is spending his final day of his trip to Europe making the case for democracies to lead the way on fighting the climate crisis and announcing new climate-related initiatives at the United Nations summit in Glasgow.
During a meeting on the margins of the summit regarding climate aspects of his Build Back Better World (B3W) initiative, the President argued that the collective effort by western nations to support infrastructure in the developing world is a chance to prove democracy can still deliver.
The B3W program was announced in June at the G7. It is meant to counter China's Belt and Road initiative.
"We offer a positive alternative to debt traps and corruption. We can hold entire countries back if we don't do that. Transparency is critically important. And by assisting and responding to the needs of developing countries, rather than dictating projects from afar, we can deliver the greatest impact for those who need it the most," Biden said. "We have to show -- and I think we will show -- that democracy is still the best way for delivering results."
