ABSTRACT

This ‘In Brief’ article analyses the 2020 US national election (presidential and congressional) and its implications for environment and climate policy in the US and globally. Drawing on insights from electoral politics, partisanship and executive power, it explores three broad areas: the issues at stake during the campaign and the centrality of climate, explanations for the outcome, and reflections on what lies ahead for the US role under a Biden Presidency.
