According to a BBC report, US President Joe Biden has chastised China and Russia for not attending the UN COP26 climate summit currently taking place in Glasgow.
Biden said climate change was "a gigantic issue" and China "walked away" in a speech on Tuesday night, adding that it was the "same thing with Russia and Putin." The summit did not include Russian President Vladimir Putin or Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Both countries, on the other hand, have sent delegations to the talks, which will last two weeks and end on November 12. China is the world's largest carbon dioxide emitter, followed by the United States. According to the report, Russia is the fifth-largest economy after the EU and India. The conference in Scotland's largest city drew more than 120 leaders. China and Russia have both signed the pledge to stop deforestation.
According to a Kremlin press release, Putin addressed a meeting on forest management at the COP26 summit on Tuesday, saying that Russia takes the "strongest and most vigorous measures to conserve" woodlands. When asked about the role that other countries, such as China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia, have played in the talks thus far, the US president made his remarks.
