Donald Trump’s Climate Policy Agenda: A Threat to Global Action

With Donald Trump set to be inaugurated for a second term as President of the United States, global climate policy faces significant challenges. Trump’s intention to prioritize fossil fuel production, withdraw from the Paris Agreement, and reduce environmental protections threatens climate actions worldwide. This shift in U.S. policy has already impacted international negotiations, exemplified by Argentina withdrawing from COP29 after Trump’s election. As climate-related disasters escalate globally, many citizens in the U.S. and abroad seem to deprioritize climate action, raising concerns about the effectiveness of international agreements to combat climate change.
