What Biden and his Senate majority mean for climate policy and philanthropy

Abstract

The Democrat wins in Georgia have resulted in a unified Democratic government in the US for the first time since 2010, which is expected to have a significant impact on climate policy and philanthropy. This opens up new opportunities for high-impact climate philanthropy, particularly through funding organizations that aim to improve US climate policy. With the Democratic control of the Senate, the focus of climate policy is likely to shift towards legislation and smart clean energy spending, which could enable effective climate policies by bringing interests and existing infrastructures on board. Philanthropists are encouraged to capture this unique moment for impact and donate to organizations that can effectively utilize the current political landscape to advance climate-focused initiatives. – AI-generated abstract.
