Election 2024: The Future of Climate Policy and Environmental Justice

About this event

Many believe that the stakes of an election have never been higher than they are for the 2024 election, particularly for progress on tackling climate change and environmental injustices. The Trump administration can be credited with the overturning of the Chevron Deference as well as rolling back more than 100 environmental rules; while the Biden administration has committed more funding and resources to fighting causes and impacts of climate change, as well as working to address decades of environmental injustices than any previous administration. What will the next presidency bring?

Watch our panel of environmental policy professionals, climate and justice activists, and candidates running for national office for a conversation around the potential impacts of the 2024 election results on advancing climate policy and environmental justice.

The Panel:

• Cheyenne Young (Moderator) - Policy Associate at The Nature Conservancy
• Caroline Gleich - Candidate for U.S. Senate (D-UT), Ski mountaineer & athlete
• Iyla Shornstein - Political Director at The Center for Climate Integrity
• Camila Bustos - Assistant Professor of Law, Elisabeth Haub School of Law
