Markey calls for president to secure climate deal

A Massachusetts senator is calling for President Joe Biden to secure a climate deal that reduces emissions while bolstering the economy.

In a letter to the president, Markey, who was joined by dozens of colleagues, issued a letter to the president ahead of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change urging him to “secure a deal on his Build Back Better agenda” that would cut pollution in half by 2030 and create union jobs while advancing environmental, racial, and economic justice.
