Vice President Kamala Harris Believes We Can Tackle Climate Change

“I think many people have the will to participate in what we must do to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and be smart, but not everyone has the means,” says Vice President Kamala Harris. “We have to think about this movement in a way that we are making it affordable for a working family that wants to participate.” She took the stage at Aspen Ideas: Climate in Miami Beach to share her optimism and expand on the environmental policy that is inspiring her and the Biden administration. Singer and longtime Florida resident Gloria Estefan interviews Vice President Harris and talks about the changes she’s seen in her home city as the climate shifts, and the precious resources she hopes to protect.
