Mr Biden’s rise to power is poised to add momentum towards a pact from the world’s leading economies to aim for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Mr Morrison signalled this week his hope to set the target as government policy before the next election.
He said on Thursday the pair canvassed the issue, reaffirming that both countries wanted to achieve a net-zero pathway through technology.
Mr Morrison said co-operation between countries was needed to achieve that and this had already begun from discussions between the US special climate envoy John Kerry and federal Energy Minister Angus Taylor.
“We’re very keen on pursuing that relationship and the technology partnership,” he said.
“Our goal is global emissions, not just emissions in some country. Global emissions reduction. And that is how you solve the problem.”
