7:17Now PlayingRenowned activist and author Naomi Klein evaluates the 2020 Democratic presidential field and the climate platforms of leading candidates. She says the Democratic National Committee’s refusal to hold a debate specifically on the climate crisis reveals “a fundamental failure to understand the intersectional nature of this crisis,” making it crucial for the candidates to be vocal about their plans.
“If you say you support a Green New Deal … then you can’t wait for the moderator to ask you specifically about climate change. This is your economic plan, this is related to what your foreign policy is, this is related to your racial justice platform,” Klein says. “This is really the story of the next economy, so the candidates need to seize the reins.”
