Rebuilding Bipartisanship in the U.S. Environmental Movement

"Yale University Welcome Remarks for Yale @ Climate Week NYC 2025 [0:00-11:45] Bipartisan Panel [11:45-1:15:45] U.S. climate progress remains politically fragile, often hinging on narrow partisan majorities that shift with election cycles. This vulnerability has made it difficult to sustain long-term climate policies and investments, especially as political polarization continues to deepen. While recent years have seen important legislative and regulatory steps forward, there is a growing recognition that such gains are not guaranteed to last without broader political buy-in. As a result, rebuilding a durable, bipartisan foundation for climate action is not just preferable—it is increasingly seen as essential. This panel explored the structural and strategic opportunities available to the environmental movement to help bridge the partisan divide. It examined what it will take to rebuild cross-partisan trust, engage new allies, and generate lasting momentum for climate solutions that can withstand changes in political leadership. In doing so, the conversation aimed to meet a rising demand—from funders, academics, and on-the-ground practitioners—for clear, actionable insights on how to navigate the complex and often volatile political landscape that shapes climate progress in the United States. Participants considered both the historical context and emerging trends that offer new possibilities for common ground, with the goal of identifying pathways to more inclusive and enduring climate leadership.
