President Joe. Biden recently launched the U.S. Trade and Development Agency’s (USTDA) Global Partnership for Climate-Smart Infrastructure initiative.
The initiative, a partnership with U.S. industry organizations and government agencies, aims to deliver clean energy and transportation solutions to emerging markets worldwide.
“Nations that work together to invest in the cleaner economy will reap rewards for their citizens,” Biden said at his keynote speech at the Leaders Summit on Climate. “The United States is committed – we are committed to making those investments to grow our economy here at home while connecting with markets around the world. For example, we are launching a new Global Partnership for Climate-Smart Infrastructure. This will create good-paying jobs here in America by supporting development of new, clean infrastructure in our partner countries. These are the sort of partnerships that are going to be good for all of us.”
Launch partners include the Solar Energy Industries Association, the U.S. Departments of Commerce, Energy and Transportation; the U.S. Chamber of Commerce; Intelligent Transportation Society of America; the National Electrical Manufacturers Association;
the American Clean Power Association; and the Export-Import Bank of the United States.
USTDA has supported $4.1 billion in climate technology and services exports since 1992.
