Will Kamala Harris Attend U.N. Climate Week?

September 19, 2024

The United Nations Climate Week begins on Sunday, but it is unclear if Vice President Kamala Harris will attend. Since becoming the Democratic Nominee for President, Harris has reversed herself on key energy positions such as fracking, electric vehicle mandates, and single-use plastics. These new positions would typically put her at odds with supporters during Climate Week. 

Climate Week NYC describes the week as,

“The largest annual climate event of its kind, bringing together over 600 events and activities across the City of New York – in person, hybrid and online. Each year, business leaders, political change makers, local decision takers and civil society representatives of all ages and backgrounds, from all over the world, gather to drive the transition, speed up progress, and champion change that is already happening.’

Historically, Harris has attended international climate conferences, including December 2023’s UN’s COP28 where she pledged $3 billion in taxpayer dollars to support the climate agenda.

“Kamala Harris may run as far away from this conference as possible, but her heart will always be with the climate agenda,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. “If they were honest, attendees at Climate Week would protest and condemn the new Kamala she’s trying to sell to voters. However, the elitists at UN Climate Week will stay silent as Kamala runs to the center because they know she’s lying and she’s really one of them.”

In the past, Harris has said, “I don’t call it climate change, I call it a climate crisis.” Yet, during the most recent Presidential Debate, Vice President Harris continued to stand by her recent reversal on fracking while offering no explanation for her changed position.
