2024 Election: A Crucial Turning Point for U.S. Climate Policy

The outcome of the presidential race could determine the nation's approach to climate action, with stark differences between the candidates' plans.

Kamala Harris supports clean energy initiatives but has been vague about her climate strategy, which includes continuing policies from the Inflation Reduction Act.
Donald Trump dismisses climate change as a hoax, pledging to dismantle Biden's climate policies and boost fossil fuel production.
The Inflation Reduction Act has significantly advanced clean energy, creating jobs and reducing emissions, but its future depends on the election outcome.
Experts warn that a second Trump presidency could severely hinder U.S. and global efforts to mitigate climate change impacts.
The election is seen as a pivotal moment for climate action, with significant international implications depending on the U.S. leadership direction.
