LONDON, Nov 9 (Reuters) - London Stock Exchange
Chief Executive Officer David Schwimmer said on Monday that Joe
Biden's election win in the United States would have a huge
impact on global climate politics.
Asked if a new president would change the United States'
contribution to the climate debate, Schwimmer said: "Short
answer is 'yes' - big change."
"Huge impact in terms of having the U.S. joining the effort
to deal with climate change as opposed to being out there on its
own," Schwimmer told the Green Horizon Summit.
"The timing is actually pretty remarkable in terms of the
U.S. leaving the Paris Agreement a couple of days ago and then
President-elect Biden indicating that it will be one of his
first actions in office."
