Implications of Trump's Election on Climate Policy
The election of Donald Trump is likely to have significant implications for climate and energy policies in the United States and globally. Representative Ro Khanna noted the challenge of communicating the importance of climate change to voters who are primarily concerned with immediate economic issues like inflation and cost of living. Despite this, there is an opportunity to mobilize younger voters who are increasingly aware of climate impacts, as climate disasters affect their lives and future. To bring climate change to the forefront, advocates must connect it to economic resilience and the shifting energy landscape, where investments in renewables are essential.
