The 2024 US elections are undoubtedly about climate change — and the difference between the two leading candidates could not be more stark. While in office, former president Donald Trump withdrew from the 2015 Paris Agreement, threw out more than 100 environmental regulations, and had climate change removed from the EPA’s site. On the 2024 campaign trail, the former president reportedly told Big Oil executives that he would trash Biden’s climate policy accomplishments in exchange for $1 billion in campaign donations.
For journalists, it’s important to help audiences understand what this position on climate and these policies would mean for their lives. In this Covering Climate Now webinar, on Wednesday, October 16, at 12pm US Eastern Time, our expert panel will give an overview of Trump’s climate agenda during his first term, and what his campaign promises and political affiliations mean for a potential second term. RSVP here.
