The United States Returns to Multilateralism – Joe Biden’s Investiture

On Wednesday, January 20 we were able to attend the investiture of the new president of the United States: Joe Biden

Rémi Piet was invited by France24 to comment on the Biden Administration’s priorities towards Europe, Africa and Latin America and  to outline the key structural evolutions and their short and long term impacts.

Key takeaways for extractive industry and sustainability professionals:

  •  Increased scrutiny on transparency of supply chains ;
  • Multilateralism on foreign relations, increased pressure on key countries and focus on others with a greater role for development agencies ;
  • Ramping up of enforcement of REDD, plus type instruments and ESG accountability of investors and companies.

Videos are available in French and English on on the youtube channel of Embellie Advisory and on the France 24 website
