The Democratic Party's 2024 platform is the only guide to what climate policy in a Harris White House might be.

The platform calls for investment in clean energy and the electrical grid.

It also calls for the adoption of practices that will bring farming in the U.S. to net zero emissions by 2050 .

The party platform says it will "eliminate tens of billions of dollars " in oil and gas subsidies.

Democrats want the U.S. to lead the way in transitioning from fossil fuels to clean energy.

Democrats propose rolling out new roads, bridges and ports that can stand up to climate change.
