Join the Atlantic Council Global Energy Center for a rapid response discussion marking the close of the “Raising Ambitions” event series to highlight reactions from around the world on the Leaders Summit on Climate. This event will take place on Friday, April 23 at 12:00p.m. EDT.
Surrounding the Biden Administration’s Leaders Summit on Climate, the Atlantic Council is joining energy and climate leaders from around the world to encourage increased ambitions on climate action as part of the “Raising Ambitions” series.

The discussion will focus on reactions to US climate commitments, international perspectives, and on looking beyond the Summit to continue raising climate ambitions.
