Australia would welcome President-elect Joe Biden restoring the United States to the Paris climate accord, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Monday, speaking as he faced renewed pressure himself to boost efforts to cut Australia's carbon emissions. "We would be welcoming the United States back into the Paris Agreement, somewhere we've always been," Morrison told reporters, saying a U.S. return to other global organisations like the World Health Organization (WHO) would also be welcome. The United States formally withdrew from the Paris climate agreement last week, but Biden has promised to rejoin the Paris pact, and also commit to net zero emissions by 2050.
