The Biden Administration’s Climate Policy and Implications for the Asia Energy Transition

Organiser Atlantic Council
Date 28 Oct 2021, 20:00 - 22:00 hrs
Venue Virtual Platform

The Biden administration has made clean energy and climate action a central part of its foreign policy, announcing ambitious new targets and partnerships to help drive clean energy development and deployment around the world. Ahead of COP26, the administration has made it clear that it will prioritize clean energy both in its domestic policies as well as in its relationships with allies, including through an ambitious new clean energy partnership with India. As the United States doubles its development assistance for clean energy and tries to reassert itself as a climate leader, and perhaps chills its support for natural gas development, what will the implications be for the energy transition in Asia? How will the Biden administration's new energy policy agenda impact the development and climate goals of major partners and allies in the Indo-Pacific?
