Pete Buttigieg on the Green New Deal

Buttigieg has publicly expressed his support for the Green New Deal. He has called climate change a “national security threat,” supports homes in the country becoming “net zero” energy consumers, and favors government-subsidized solar panels.

According to a Medium post, in 2017 Buttigieg was one of 407 mayors to sign a Paris Climate Agreement pact, committing to honor Paris’ climate goals despite President Trump pulling out of the agreement.

Buttigieg has also committed to not accepting money from fossil fuel industries or corporate PACs for his campaign.
