Climate and environmental change policy

Recently, the US president signed the consolidated appropriations act(CAA) to help mitigate the rising emissions of greenhouse gases(GHG) responsible for the rapid climate change. The act aims to regulate the energy use of federal buildings, homes, schools, and industries. A global climate change has led to excess heat, rains, and drought in different parts. Therefore, the GHG policy, the consolidated appropriations act(CAA), has been enacted in line with the political system theory to mitigate the harmful effects of GHG.

However, the efforts to reduce GHG began in the late 19th century, and hence, the state passed the Energy act to mitigate the GHG effects while applying the political systems theory. Different approaches to mitigate the harmful effects of climate change, such as adopting renewable energy sources and managing buildings, vehicles, and power plant emissions, have not yet yielded the expected change ("U. S Climate Change Policy", 2021). Currently, the 2020 Energy Act and consolidated appropriations act(CAA) resolve to increase research and development in renewable and nuclear energy, energy storage, electric vehicles' impact, and carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) ("U. S Climate Change Policy", 2021). However, the GHG policy applies the political systems theory by considering climate change's cultural, economic, and social effects on the country and the entire world (Pülzl & Treib, 2017). The policy's outcomes have a direct impact on the people socially and economically. Therefore, the main driving force for the development of the energy Act is the increased effects of greenhouse gases (GHG) on the environment triggering climate change. However, the policymakers utilize the political systems theory to enhance the people's economic, social, and cultural wellbeing.

The GHG policy, energy act 2020, has been enacted in line with the political system theory. Therefore, the main driving force for the development of the energy Act is the increased effects of greenhouse gases (GHG) on the environment triggering climate change. In addition, the policymakers utilize the political systems theory to enhance the people's economic, social, and cultural wellbeing.
