This is The Climate Win, the most positive sustainability news around the world every week.
Earth Day is next week, and with it comes good news on the climate front. US President Joe Biden plans to host world leaders on April 22 — Earth Day itself — to motivate US allies to plan big in advance of the United Nations climate summit in Glasgow this October. The New York Times reported this week that Biden’s meeting looks to draw some big announcements, including from Japan, which plans to cut emissions 50 percent below 2013 levels by 2030; South Korea, which will announce an overseas coal moratorium; and Canada, which also promises a big statement.
