LONDON (Reuters) – London Stock Exchange LSE.L 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.

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.
