Joe Biden

Neither candidate supports a Green New Deal.

Candidates need to be unbiased by donations from oil, gas, or coal companies.

Biden will commit our country to fulfilling our obligation to all workers impacted by the energy transition, like coal miners and power plant workers and their communities.

Biden will commit that every infrastructure investment that receives federal funding should reduce climate pollution, as much as possible. Climate impacts are regional, and the solutions will be too.

Nuclear waste disposal is a long-term threat to environmental safety.

To support the environment, candidates must disinvest from the auto industry and invest in public transport.

The U.S. should follow clean production and principles of zero waste.

Biden will reinstate federal protections, rolled back by the Trump Administration, that were designed to protect communities. He will make it a priority for all agencies to engage in community-driven approaches to develop solutions for environmental injustices affecting communities of color, low-income, and indigenous communities.

Biden will use every tool of American foreign policy to push the rest of the world to raise their ambitions alongside the United States.

Biden will 1) establish an enforcement mechanism to achieve the 2050 goal, 2) make a historic investment in energy and climate research and innovation, 3) incentivize the rapid deployment of clean energy innovations across the economy.

Biden has the ability to implement bipartisan legislation, which is more likely to pass than sweeping bills.

Joe Biden pushed for a tough-on-crime approach in the Democratic party and was a leading advocate of anti-drug legislation. Biden's past actions on criminal justice suggest he has much in common with Trump on this issue.

Biden has not been strong enough in his criticism of left-wing riots in American cities. He will limit law enforcement powers and will be responsible for a rise in crime.

In his long career as Senator, Joe Biden has pushed a criminal justice agenda that is responsible for the mass incarceration and drug abuse crises. He cannot be trusted on this issue.

Joe Biden will address the causes of crime and prevent crime, and will prioritise rehabilitation and redemption. He will review police training and wants to rebuild trust between communities and law enforcement.

Biden has the most experience in elected office of any major candidate this century.

Biden promises a return to the Obama era, a time many Democrats dearly miss in the age of Trump.
