A spokeswoman for Ms. Harris said in a statement on Wednesday that while at the summit, known as COP28, the vice president would underscore the Biden-Harris administration's success in delivering on the most ambitious climate agenda in history, both at home and abroad.
White House officials have said Mr. Biden is consumed with other global issues, including the war between Israel and Hamas and securing funding for Ukraine in its fight against Russia's invasion, which has become the subject of an intense congressional clash in recent days.
During the summit, officials said, Ms. Harris will announce several U.S. initiatives related to bolstering climate resilience in other countries and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. They said she would also discuss the passage of clean energy legislation during the first two years of the administration.
