Impact of Trump’s Re-election on Climate Action

The potential re-election of Donald Trump poses significant challenges for global climate efforts, particularly concerning international agreements like the Paris Accord. His previous decision to withdraw from this landmark agreement has raised concerns about America's commitment to mitigating climate change. Given that the United States is the largest oil producer and the second largest greenhouse gas emitter, the implications of Trump's presidency extend beyond national borders, disrupting global negotiations and collective action against climate change. With his presidency likely to coincide with crucial climate conferences, questions remain about the U.S. role in financing emerging economies' transitions to sustainable energy.
