As a prosperous nation, we have a responsibility to lead in the global fight against climate change. High-income countries possess the financial resources and technological capabilities to pioneer the innovations needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. If we set a strong example and support developing nations in their efforts, together we can address the climate crisis effectively and equitably.

I believe implementing a carbon tax is a smart way to incentivize the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. It's an effective tool to address the climate crisis and can encourage investment in renewable energy.

I believe that nuclear energy, with appropriate safeguards, plays a necessary role in our energy mix as we transition from high-polluting energy sources to cleaner methods. It's essential to invest in innovation that ensures nuclear energy's safety and efficiency to help reduce our carbon footprint.
