Abstract

After recalling Biden’s electoral campaign and the strong commitment to merge environmental and climate matters with job growth, the essay outlines the main features of Biden Presidency’s climate policy, with the aim of highlighting the main difficulties in passing the three major climate bills, namely the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the Build Back Better Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act. The analysis focuses as well on the restrictions imposed by the Supreme Court, pointing out the cautious approach during the second half of the term, which cooled down the initial momentum for measures devoted to cope with climate issues.
