Climate change finally proved to be a significant issue this election season. After being discussed a few times on the debate stage, polls probing voters' level of concern on the subject revealed complexities. A New York Times poll reported that 58% of Americans said they were concerned about climate change, while Fox News exit polls simultaneously revealed that 72% of voters were worried about climate change. Both numbers point to the increasing trend of most Americans accepting the scientific evidence of anthropogenic climate change. However, when considering the share of votes deciding who is elected to office, these numbers highlight a gap between voters' desired policies and the politicians they're choosing. Still, November’s election results revealed a slight upper-hand for a new administration with more climate-friendly visions and policies, thanks to young voters – particularly young voters of color – and women. This outcome is crucial for the United States to get back on track to implement an ambitious climate policy rooted in conservation, justice, and green, economic growth. The first step? Rejoining the Paris Agreement.

Common sustainability and social impact tools such as “Environmental, Social, Corporate Governance” (ESG), Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs), and Carbon Offset programs signal compliance with consumer demand for improved sustainability practices. Yet these tools can come with methodological issues rooted in the fact that environmental impact is insanely difficult to quantify, especially when attempting to factor all known externalities. Additionally, some tools face more challenges than others, especially those that depend on a company’s own commitment to corporate responsibility versus reporting to a third party – take, for example, the recent Vogue Business report of ESGs in the fashion world. Another barrier to understanding true measures of success is the variation in execution of these sustainability tools. LCAs, although vulnerable to input variability, can be conducted by third parties in order to minimize company bias. Often dismissed as ignoring the root problem of climate change, carbon offsets can take form in funding both sequestration initiatives and GHG emission prevention. Tools like these will continue to see hiccups, but the development to increase their accuracy is indispensable in fighting for greater transparency. For now, we’ll just have to continue to read the fine print.
