Biden visits Amazon rainforest during visit to Brazil ahead of G20 summit | N18G

On November 17, 2024, President Joe Biden made history as the first sitting U.S. president to visit the Amazon rainforest. His trip to Manaus, Brazil, highlighted the importance of preserving the rainforest to combat climate change, as its trees absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide. Biden met with local leaders, including Indigenous groups, working to protect the region and toured areas affected by severe drought. During his visit, Biden reiterated the U.S. commitment to clean energy and environmental policies, emphasizing that balancing the environment and economy is achievable. He also warned that President-elect Donald Trump’s climate policies could undo his administration’s progress. Biden announced a $50 million contribution to the Amazon Fund, bringing the U.S. commitment to $100 million. He also signed a proclamation designating November 17 as International Conservation Day, underscoring his dedication to global environmental efforts.
