More than 150 activists, actors and businessmen, including actor Leonardo DiCaprio and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, have signed an open letter to US President Joe Biden calling for a response to climate change. An open letter posted on the Climate Power 2020 website.
“You may be remembered as the” climate president “who took humanity off the edge of the cliff. You can drive the world’s energy systems transition from fossil fuels to clean energy, while creating many jobs, reducing pollution and eliminating economic, racial and health inequalities, “the letter says.
The authors of the appeal appreciated Biden’s decree on the return of the United States to the Paris Climate Agreement. However, in their opinion, this is not enough, so we should do “everything in our power”.
Celebrities signed by actresses Natalie Portman and Zooey Deschanel, as well as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Mastercard Ajay Banga, Chairman of the Committee on Environment, Health and Food Safety of the European Parliament Pascal Kanfin.
