"The return to Paris, and then the Summit are part of an effort by President Biden, especially on the heels of the previous Trump Administration, to signal to Japan and other nations around the world that the US is back in serious engagement on climate policy," said Barry Rabe. "He is trying to make as clear of a declaration as he can, that the U.S. wants to be back at the table talking about these issues in a credible way."
