Europe’s leaders on climate change are the first to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden
As soon as President-elect Joe Biden won the 2020 election, congratulations poured in from
several European politicians and officials desperate to work with him on climate change — likely in an effort to jump-start collaboration with the US on the Paris climate agreement.
Messages came in from two members of the European Parliament from Germany’s Green party.
“Congrats Mr. President,” tweeted Rasmus Andersen while Jutta Paulus referred to Biden as “Mr. President-elect” and referenced the
state of Pennsylvania, which Biden had just won, clinching the race.
Belgium’s recently appointed climate minister Zakia Khattabi also celebrated Biden’s win, though without directly naming him, tweeting: “
Welcome back #America! See you at the next #Cop,” referring to the next UN Climate Change Conference to be held in Glasgow, Scotland, in November 2021.
It’s no surprise that politicians concerned about climate change were among the first to publicly congratulate Biden.
