The US Presidential Election & Global Climate Policy

Former Vice President Joe Biden was recently projected to be the next President of the United States.

These results have the power to impact not only US policy and culture, but also international policy and global climate change mitigation.

President Donald Trump favors subsidies for fossil fuel giants in coal and gas, while time is running out in the race to lessen the worst effects of climate change. He creates a culture of climate denialism within the US and encourages destructive policies abroad.
