The Role of Government in Climate Policy

Government plays a crucial role in addressing climate change by leveling the playing field and incentivizing businesses to innovate and invest in climate solutions. By implementing laws and regulations, governments can catalyze the development of sustainable technologies in instances where incumbents are not held accountable for their environmental impact. The conversation emphasizes that while government will initially support emerging technologies, it will gradually step back as these sectors become self-sufficient and competitive. This approach aims to create a framework where clean energy solutions are accessible and affordable for all communities.
