Biden to tout administration's climate agenda during speech at New York City forum
President Joe Biden will speak at Climate Week NYC on Tuesday, touting his administration’s climate agenda and drawing contrasts between Democratic action and Republicans who voted against his 2022 climate law, according to a White House official.
Biden will appear at the Bloomberg Global Business Forum, according to the official, where he’ll speak about his work to lower planet-warming pollution in the US and create clean energy jobs while saving Americans money with energy tax subsidies.
While there, in the final weeks of a neck-and-neck race for the White House between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, Biden will draw a sharp contrast between Democrats and Republicans on energy and climate. The president will point out that Republicans voted unanimously against his climate bill, and many voted against Biden’s bipartisan infrastructure law.
Throughout his term, Biden has worked to cement his legacy as the most pro-climate president after making the fight against climate change a central pillar of his administration. He signed billions of new clean energy tax credits and federal grant money into law in 2022 and oversaw dozens of ambitious federal regulations designed to slash pollution from US plants
