WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris will face two delicate tasks when she attends a climate summit this weekend in Dubai. She’ll be trying to demonstrate U.S. environmental leadership despite President Joe Biden’s absence from the annual gathering on climate change. And she’ll meet with regional leaders to work to nudge forward fragile efforts to shape the next phase of the war between Israel and Hamas.

She leaves Washington on Friday and is scheduled to appear only briefly at the United Nations conference known as COP28.
