Abstract
As soon as he took office, on the 20th of January 2021, Joseph Robinette Biden made the choice to re-join the Paris Climate Agreement. This choice sent the issue of climate change straight back up onto the top of the world agenda. Initiated in 2016 at the COP 21 summit in Paris and since ratified by more than 190 countries, the commitment was made to curb the rise in temperature between 1.5 and 2 degrees Celsius. Or else, survival may be at stake. The commitment calls, as challenging as indeed it sounds, for the building of an economy that the planet can sustain.
