“Joe Biden says U.S. will rejoin Paris Agreement on his first day as president.”

Mark Nevitt, associate professor in the College of Law, was quoted in the Newsweek story “Joe Biden says U.S. will rejoin Paris Agreement on his first day as president.” Nevitt, an expert in climate change law and policy, says that if Biden is to win the election it would be the first chance for climate change legislation in many years. “The U.S. is the world’s largest historical emitter of greenhouse gas emissions and the second-largest annual emitter behind China. The world needs U.S. leadership and innovation on the climate stage,” says Nevitt.
