The Biden-Harris administration has accomplished more for our climate than any other in U.S. history. Now, President Biden has once again put the country first by ending his campaign for a second term and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. Vice President Harris is now carrying the torch forward in the struggle to protect our democracy and secure a safe climate for our communities, our families, and our children. As the MAGA Republicans under Trump and Vance scheme to sell us all out to Big Oil, it is time to unite behind this climate champion.

Vice President Harris’s entire career has put her on the side of a thriving and safe future. She cast the deciding vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act into law, unleashing billions of dollars in investments to bring innovative technologies to market, create hundreds of thousands of good quality jobs, and stabilize our climate. As the second-highest-ranking official in the country, she has been essential to the Biden-Harris administration’s ongoing work to turn those investments into positive change all across this country. Vice President Harris is ready to step into the role of President of the United States, in what will not only be a truly historic moment, but one of crucial importance. This election is the most important of our lifetime, presenting the last opportunity to prevent the worst of the worst of the climate crisis and instead fully secure US global leadership in a thriving, safer clean energy economy for us all.

Every step of Vice President Harris’s career has prepared her to seize this moment. Now, as we all come together to win the election in November, let’s look back at her extraordinary work.

As Vice President, Kamala Harris Drove Historic Climate Action

Not only did Vice President Harris play a critical role in enacting and implementing the IRA—her record is replete with examples of clear climate leadership. We pulled together the receipts—and will keep sharing her record in the months ahead. But just for starters:

1. Vice President Harris is a longstanding champion for climate action.

As the second-highest-ranking official in the most climate-accomplished administration of our country’s history, VP Harris has overseen the passage and implementation of the biggest climate implementation of historic climate action (including casting the deciding vote for the IRA). She has been a longstanding champion of ambition on this issue, making climate central to her work both nationally and globally. She would build on her accomplishments in this administration and accelerate action in the crucial years ahead.

2. Vice President Harris is a leading voice for environmental justice.

In her work to address the climate crisis, VP Harris has consistently showcased that climate action must be rooted in equity. Under her watch, the Biden-Harris administration established its historic Justice40 commitment to ensure federal funds reached underserved communities, established the first White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council, and put the full force of the federal government into cleaning up cumulative pollution and investing in communities.

3. Vice President Harris is a champion of high-quality and union jobs in the clean energy economy.

The Vice President and President Biden have been the most pro-union administration in our recent history, and Vice President Harris has not only worked from the White House to support workers—she has traveled the country championing clean energy jobs and investments, pushing forward projects, and standing up for unions.

4. Vice President Harris made sure our kids could benefit from climate investments.

Kids across the country are no longer stuck breathing diesel fumes. Vice President Harris announced a $1 billion investment to electrify old and polluting school buses, paired with even more investments in public buses and transit. The vice president has passionately championed cleaning up our transportation system, especially for our children.

5. Vice President Harris has driven climate action globally.

She announced billions in investments in the global Green Climate Fund, establishing a major effort to clean up the global economy. And she has been dedicated to ensuring that America supports those struggling with climate disasters, at home and abroad. In doing so, she has helped to ensure that American innovation can support nations around the world, as we all address the climate crisis and build a new economy.
