Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump faced off for the first time in a presidential debate on Tuesday night .

Neither candidate addressed climate change during the first -- and possibly only -- debate.

Climate change has not taken center stage this election cycle due to other topics, such as the economy, immigration and abortion.

Clean energy employment increased by 142,000 jobs in 2023 , according to a U.S. Department of Energy report.

The Biden administration has made more progress than any previous administration, experts say.

"It's becoming clear that talking about climate as a.. standalone issue is a political dead end," she says.
