President Biden is preparing a slew of executive orders Wednesday building out the new administration's agenda for tackling climate change, in what is being dubbed “Climate Day."
The moves on drilling for oil and gas, conserving nature and addressing the racial and economic disparities of pollution fulfill several campaign promises. They are meant to put the United States on the path to net-zero emissions by the middle of the century and come off the heels of Biden moving to rejoin the Paris climate accord and nix the Keystone XL pipeline on his first day in office.
