One environmental group said the new president\u2019s actions make \u201cthe United States once more part of the global climate solution\u2014not the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In one of his first official acts, President Joe Biden signed executive orders January 20 to rejoin the United States into the Paris climate agreement and block construction of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oval Office event was Biden\u2019s first major action to tackle global warming as he brings the largest team of climate change experts ever into the White House. During his presidential campaign, Biden had laid out plans<\/a> to roll back a number of the Trump administration\u2019s environmental and energy policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Return to Paris<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Former President Trump withdrew<\/a> the United States from the Paris Agreement, a nonbinding global accord to address the threat of climate change, in 2017. Trump argued the U.S. commitments were unfair, unnecessary, and costly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Absent action on the federal level, a coalition of state governors and local leaders worked to support<\/a> the international deal\u2019s goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Biden\u2019s executive order, clean energy groups applauded the United States\u2019 planned return to the Paris Agreement and said they\u2019re looking forward to working with the new administration to combat climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gregory Wetstone, president and CEO of the American Council on Renewable Energy, commended<\/a> Biden\u2019s \u201ccommitment to move America beyond climate denial on his very first day in office.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association, said<\/a> the industry \u201cstands ready to help America meet its commitments in the Paris Agreement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goodbye, Keystone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

President Biden also signed an executive order revoking the existing presidential permit for the Keystone XL pipeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cross-border oil pipeline project between Canada and the United States has faced strong opposition from environmental and Indigenous groups for years. Former president Barack Obama rejected the project. In 2017, however, Trump issued a presidential permit to help move the stalled project forward, citing energy independence and job creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement<\/a>, Keystone XL developer TC Energy Corp. called Biden\u2019s plan to scrap the permit \u201cvery disappointing.\u201d The Canadian company claimed the decision could lead to thousands of job losses, adding that the firm is assessing its options and suspending the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the lead-up to Biden\u2019s inauguration, TC Energy announced<\/a> plans to make the Keystone project the \u201cfirst pipeline to be fully powered by renewable energy.\u201d As part of the initiative, the company said its commitment would spur up to $1.7 billion in investment and create 1.6 GW of renewables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a Reuters report<\/a>, Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently signaled his continued support for the Keystone pipeline, telling reporters, \u201cOur government is making sure that Canada\u2019s views are heard and considered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Environmental groups have praised Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catherine Collentine, associate director of the Sierra Club\u2019s Dirty Fuels Campaign, called<\/a> the Keystone Xl rejection \u201ca huge and hard-fought victory for our communities, clean water, and climate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitchell Bernard, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council, said<\/a> Biden\u2019s \u201cswift and decisive\u201d actions on the pipeline and Paris Agreement make \u201cthe United States once more part of the global climate solution\u2014not the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The White House climate team is led by Gina McCarthy, former administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new climate team includes the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
