How climate change could shape the 2024 election

On this edition of Your Call’s One Planet Series, we're discussing what’s at stake for the climate in the presidential election.

Over one-third of registered voters in the US are pro-climate voters. An additional 25 percent of registered voters also prefer a candidate who supports climate action.

How will the US election affect the global fight against the climate crisis?
