The Nov. 5 presidential election will set the course for climate progress for years to come. More than in any previous election, the two major candidates’ track records on environmental policies are well-established and diametrically opposed. Thanks to campaign pledges, party platforms, and written plans by former administration officials, we can evaluate the candidates for what they are likely to do in the critical years ahead.  
 
This panel discussion hosted by the UCLA Emmett Institute will explore the climate implications of the 2024 election from the national and international perspective, as well as a deep dive on how California policymakers are preparing to lead at the state level whatever the next four years bring. What are the environmental policy scenarios in a Trump or Harris administration? What roles do Congress, the Supreme Court, and international partners play in those scenarios?  Join us to discuss climate policy after the 2024 election.
