Lujan Grisham said the U.S. faces "two existential crises – the Trump presidency and the environmental annihilation he represents."
She added that a Biden administration will rejoin the international climate agreement and the United States will lead on the issue.
"We've committed to a renewable energy future with exciting and fulfilling careers for workers all across our beautiful strait, including right here in the heart of northern New Mexico," the governor said.
On day three of the convention Barack Obama, the nation's first Black president, and Hillary Clinton, the first woman nominated for president by a major party, will also address the party faithful.
And Kamala Harris, Biden's running mate and the first Black woman on a major party ticket, was delivering highly anticipated remarks that will serve as her first introduction to millions of voters.
