1:10Now PlayingPresident Biden was set to call on the world’s countries to back Ukraine against Russia’s invasion and “climate-proof our world” during a Tuesday address to the United Nations General Assembly.
Biden’s remarks on climate change, as well as his doubling down on US support for Ukraine against Russia’s nearly two-year-old invasion, were released by the White House in advance of the remarks.
“Record breaking heatwaves in the United States and China. Wildfires ravaging North America and Southern Europe. A fifth year of drought in the Horn of Africa. Tragic flooding in Libya that has killed thousands of people,” Biden will say.

From day one of my administration, the United States has treated this crisis as the existential threat that it is, not only to us, but to all of humanity.”
