Trump's Re-Election Challenges Global Climate Efforts

Donald Trump's re-election poses significant challenges to global climate efforts, with expectations to dismantle policies like the Inflation Reduction Act and withdraw from the Paris Agreement, potentially increasing CO2 emissions by 4 billion tons between 2025 and 2030. This has raised concerns among climate leaders and scientists about setbacks in international climate diplomacy. Despite potential federal rollbacks, states like California are making independent strides, approving a $10 billion bond for climate resilience projects. Trump's return could undermine U.S. leadership at COP29, with global leaders urging the U.S. to fulfill its climate responsibilities. However, renewable energy trends and investments may continue due to established policies and market forces.
