As well as rejoining the Paris Agreement, the former Vice-President has pledged to spend $2 trillion on his climate plan over four years to drive down emissions.
His plans include upgrading millions of buildings to make them more energy efficient, as well as significant investment in public transport and electric vehicle manufacturing.
