Kamala Harris, the vice president of the United States, has called climate change an “immediate” and “urgent” crisis as she detailed Biden administration efforts to respond to disasters such as the deadly flooding in Kentucky and wildfires ravaging her home state of California. Harris on Monday announced more than $1bn in grants available to states to address flooding and extreme heat exacerbated by climate change.
