South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg unveiled a three-pronged plan Wednesday on how he would combat climate change if elected president
.
Buttigieg's plan tracks with some other 2020 Democratic hopefuls' proposals with its focus on farmers and disadvantaged communities, and by setting a goal for net-zero emissions by 2050. But the plan differs from some by calling for an economy-wide carbon price and by targeting a "thriving" carbon removal industry by 2040.
A key tenet of the plan also focuses on building a "resilient nation that can stand up to the extreme weather and sea level rise" in part by prioritizing disaster preparedness and by making sure that all federally funded infrastructure projects gauge climate risk.The Buttigieg campaign puts the climate plan's price tag between $1.5 trillion and $2 trillion.
As part of the focus on clean energy, the Buttigieg administration would work with Congress to create an economy-wide price on carbon that would increase yearly with revenue rebated back to Americans.
