Impacts of Climate Policy Rollbacks

The actions taken by President Trump to reverse U.S. climate policies have profoundly affected environmental initiatives and global commitments. His withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and cuts to funding for climate science exemplify a broader trend of prioritizing short-term economic gains over long-term environmental strategies. This has created a precarious situation where the U.S., a leading emitter of greenhouse gases, lags behind its climate goals, resulting in an increase in global temperatures. As a consequence, countries and organizations now face an uphill battle to realign their strategies toward combating climate change effectively.
