​​An online climate change summit will be held on April 22-23.

The summit will be attended by Joe Biden, Vladimir Putin, and Xi Jinping. The White House notes that the current summit has several tasks:
1. To discuss reductions in harmful emissions to prevent global air temperatures from rising by more than 1.5 ° C;
2. Prepare a plan to mobilize funds to achieve zero carbon emissions from governments and private businesses;
3. Find ways to extract economic benefits from the implementation of the environmental agenda.

In addition to Joe Biden, Vladimir Putin, and Xi Jinping, the leaders of the leading economies will participate in the summit — German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron.
The European Commission is going to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. To this end, € 1 billion will be invested in the development of green technologies, and the decarbonization of the metallurgical sector will be carried out by 2030. Also, the EU wants to introduce a tax on goods with a large hydrocarbon footprint, so that European companies cannot take production abroad and get away from new regulations on environmental protection, reported Bloomberg.
