Antioch University Environmental Studies graduate students have assessed all U.S. presidential candidates’ climate plans against 20 benchmarks, including priorities ranging from modernizing the transportation sector, to ending subsidies for fossil fuel companies, to holding the fossil fuel industry financially accountable. Their research findings are summarized in a table as a tool for voters to see how their favorite candidate measures up against the climate crisis.
On Monday, March 2, noon-1pm, Eastern, we discussed the top candidates’ positions on the following benchmarks:
Low and no-carbon energy production
Best practices for agriculture
Natural ecosystem restoration
Minimizing carbon emissions in current and future infrastructure improvements
Funding for climate research
Environmental/Climate Justice issues
This webinar explored what policies need to be emphasized, and what support needs to be leveraged, to strengthen our greater collective capacity to effectively respond to the growing challenges of the present climate crisis.
