開催案内/講演概要

President-elect Joe Biden declared that combating climate change will be one of his administration's top priorities. He also promised the US would come back to the Paris Agreement on Day One. However, Biden's most ambitious climate goals may be hampered by Republican control of the US Senate, which looks likely. What options does Biden have to enact climate policy through executive action and regulation? Are there bipartisan legislative opportunities that could be passed by the Senate? How will Biden's climate change policies transform US industries and what are the implications for Japan. Mr. Randolph Bell, Director of the Global Energy Center at Atlantic Council will deliver his views on the above issues.
