Biden’s climate agenda and what it will mean for Arizona
On January 20th, 2021, Former Vice President and U.S. Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States of America. Having campaigned on a strong environmental platform that championed a national transition towards renewable energy, an American commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and a federal strategy focused on confronting climate change, many are curious how much Biden can accomplish in office.
Following his inauguration, the new White House website listed “Climate” as one of the president’s immediate priorities: “President Biden will take swift action to tackle the climate emergency. The Biden Administration will ensure we meet the demands of science, while empowering American workers and businesses to lead a clean energy revolution.”
