US President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping will sign the recent multilateral deal on climate change at a UN ceremony on 22 April, according to a joint statement issued last Thursday. They also pledged to take the necessary steps to ratify the pact in their respective nations as early as possible this year.
The leaders of the world’s two largest economies and carbon dioxide emitters further committed to work together and with other actors to promote the Paris Agreement’s full implementation in order to “win the fight” against climate change.
