Manaus, Brazil: President Joe Biden is using a historic trip to the Amazon on Sunday to highlight that US bilateral climate financing increased to $11 billion this year, meeting a pledge he made.
"The fight against climate change has been a defining cause of President Biden's leadership and presidency," the White House said in a statement ahead of Biden touching down in the Brazilian city of Manaus, in the Amazon.
Biden is making his last swing through South America before handing over the presidency to Donald Trump -- a climate-change skeptic.
The first sitting US president to make a trip to the vast tropical rainforest, Biden is to meet with Brazilian Indigenous leaders and sign a declaration making November 17 an International Conservation Day.
The White House announcement of the $11 billion figure said that made "the United States the largest bilateral provider of climate finance in the world."
