Hi, I'm Ravi Agruwal, Foreign Policies Editor-in-Chief. This is FP Live.

How will history judge the Biden administration? I guess it depends on which issue you want to focus on.

But if you take climate change, for example, there is little doubt that the

current White House exerted significant political capital to promote a bold climate agenda.

Now, climate activists can and will criticize the administration's record oil and gas production,

and they can also say that the United States hasn't done enough to help the least

develop countries with mitigation and adaptation, fair criticisms. But still, the Inflation Reduction

Act, weirdly named as it is, created massive incentives for companies to invest in clean energy.

And the question on everyone's minds seems to be,

will the next White House roll back that progress?

Can market forces push back?

And if so, how?

Well, my guest this week is the president's senior advisor

for international climate policy, John Podesta.

He's also a former White House Chief of Staff under President Bill Clinton and has handled more than one presidential transition,

so later in the interview, we will get to his views on the Trump transition as well.

As always, we love hearing from you. Our email is live at foreign policy.com.

Let's dive in.

John, welcome to FP Live.

Ravi, thank you for having me on.

It's a real pleasure.

So let's start with a question on everyone's minds.
