REPORTER: Madam Vice President, thank you for taking the time to speak with us today. Can you provide an update on the administration’s efforts to address climate change?
VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS: Thank you for the question. As you know, President Biden and I have made addressing climate change a top priority for our administration. We believe that climate change is an existential threat to our planet and our future, and we are committed to taking bold action to combat it.
Since taking office, we have rejoined the Paris Agreement, which is an important step in the global fight against climate change. We have also set ambitious goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including a target of net zero emissions by 2050.
We are making progress on these goals, but we know that there is much more work to be done. We are working with Congress to pass legislation that will invest in clean energy, create jobs, and reduce pollution. We are also working with states, cities, and businesses to implement policies that will help us reach our climate goals.
We know that the climate crisis is a global problem, and we are committed to working with our partners around the world to address it. We will continue to use our diplomatic channels to engage with other countries on this issue, and we will continue to support developing countries as they work to transition to clean energy and adapt to the impacts of climate change.
REPORTER: Vice President Harris, there has been some criticism of the administration’s climate policies, with some arguing that they are not ambitious enough. How do you respond to these criticisms?
VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS: I understand that some people believe that our climate policies are not ambitious enough, and I respect their views. However, I believe that the policies that we are pursuing are the most effective way to address climate change while also protecting our economy and our workers.
Our approach is based on science and data, and it is designed to create jobs, reduce pollution, and protect our planet. We are making progress on these goals, and we will continue to work with Congress, states, cities, and businesses to build a clean energy future for our country.
REPORTER: Madam Vice President, thank you for your time.
VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS: Thank you.
