The executive branch is in charge with carrying out and enforcing laws, which can be involved with combating climate change. The executive branch that deals with climate change could be the presidential branch, due to the president signing executive orders on new laws to help combat this change. An example of this was during the Obama administration where he signed Executive Order 13514: Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance. “Which instructed federal agencies to set or achieve various emissions reduction and energy and environmental benchmarks”. (Executive Order 13514, 2009)
A branch in the executive branch, which oversees affairs of environmental change, is in the cabinet, which is the Interior department.
