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?

Join 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.

Panel will be held via Zoom, and attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions.
