It`s very early days but it looks like Kamala Harris will be the Democrats´ candidate for the upcoming election in the US. 

And one of the first questions that came to my mind when I heard the news was “What`s her view on climate change and what policies does she stand for?”

Well, going by her statements and actions as Senator and Vice President, I believe she will be a strong supporter of climate friendly laws and policies.

As a Senator, she was also an original co-sponsor of the non-binding resolution defining the Green New Deal, a blueprint for a large-scale mobilization aimed at transitioning the US to 100% clean energy within a decade while providing people with job guarantees and “high-quality health care.” 

More recently, (in fact since winning the White House with Joe Biden), she has supported the administration’s climate efforts - these include legislation that provided hundreds of billions of dollars in tax credits & rebates for renewable energy and electric vehicles.

So in summary I believe she would support the right policies if elected - so let`s keep our fingers crossed!
