Leaders of the Group of 20 major economies said on Oct. 31 that they would accelerate plans to implement climate-related policies, although they provided few details, as the Biden administration confirmed it sent about eight Cabinet members to a separate United Nations event in Scotland.

According to a communique issued by the G-20 leaders, including President Joe Biden, during the Rome summit, they reaffirmed past commitments by wealthier countries to mobilize $100 billion annually to help poorer countries by scaling up climate financing.
