(Bloomberg) — US Vice President Kamala Harris is committed to “bold action” on climate change, an adviser to the presidential candidate said at the Democratic National Convention Wednesday.
Harris plans to prioritize the build out of a clean energy economy, reducing emissions, protecting public health, ensuring energy security, as well as “holding polluters accountable,” Ike Irby, a senior adviser to Harris said at a meeting of the Democratic National Convention’s Environmental & Climate Crisis Council.
Irby said Harris and her vice presidential pick, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, were “fully committed to building upon” the progress made during the Biden administration, including an emphasis on expanding protections on public lands and environmental justice.
