President Biden's Accomplishments on Climate

President Biden has been hailed as the most accomplished climate president in U.S. history due to his climate-focused bills and initiatives. For instance, the Inflation Reduction Act, which invested $369 billion in climate and clean energy incentives, is considered his signature climate law.
