Описание: How can the U.S. lead the green industrial revolution?
Princeton Professor Emeritus Robert O. Keohane delivers a stark warning: America’s climate future hinges on sustained political coalitions and decisive action against fossil fuel interests, and U.S. leadership still matters in the global fight against climate change.
Watch to learn breaks down five strategies to build America’s clean energy future — from rebuilding labor-climate coalitions to leveraging U.S.–China competition for green innovation.

Key takeaways
• Political coalitions need visible payoffs to sustain green industrial policy
• U.S.-China competition creates opportunity for green reindustrialization
• Climate movement must reconnect with industrial workers after 25-year split
• State governments will lead climate action as federal progress stalls
• U.S. leadership is essential despite 90% of emissions cuts happening globally
