Young climate activists say Kamala Harris' environmental record makes her more appealing to young voters.

The Green New Deal Network, a coalition of 19 progressive environmental and social justice organizations, endorsed Harris this week .

The Biden administration’s record on climate issues has been relatively strong.

But several young climate activists said for them, the expansion of the fossil fuel industry has clouded those successes.

A spokesperson for Harris ’ campaign said she plans to build on the climate legislation in the Inflation Reduction Act .

The spokesperson also clarified that although Harris said in 2019 she would ban fracking if elected president, she no longer supports such a ban.

Harris has secured endorsements from dozens of environmental groups and more than 350 leaders in the environmental movement.
