The 2020 elections have moved climate change to the political mainstage in ways Americans haven’t seen before. For the first time, candidates were competing to declare themselves “the climate candidate” and debated their action plans with compelling urgency.

But with the emergence of the coronavirus pandemic, skyrocketing unemployment and an economic shutdown, climate once again threatens to get pushed to the political back burner.

How will climate be covered in the elections? Will President Trump’s stance on climate hurt Republicans in down-ballot races?

Join us with Vanessa Hauc, journalist and senior correspondent at Noticias Telemundo, and Nathaniel Stinnett, founder and executive director of the Environmental Voter Project, for a conversation on climate coverage in the race for the presidency.
