Carper Returns from UN Climate Conference, COP28

Statement

"As the largest historic emitter, the United States has an obligation to significantly reduce our emissions and lead by example, which I can proudly say we are now doing.
COP28 was an opportunity to show the rest of the world how our nation is tackling climate change from our largest sources of emissions, including the transportation and power sectors, while helping to create hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs. We made it clear that the United States is not walking away from the climate fight anytime soon.
Coming out of COP28, my top priority remains overseeing the effective implementation of our recent climate and clean energy wins. I also hope to build on our successes by advancing bipartisan legislation to strengthen our nation's nuclear industry, confirming nominees who share our goals, and much more. In the meantime, I will continue to work with the Biden Administration on identifying opportunities to further our nation's climate agenda, including cutting methane emissions from landfills. The climate crisis is a challenge that should unite us all, and I remain optimistic about the opportunity to make progress over the next year."
