Trump's election victory signals major shifts in U.S. climate policy

Donald Trump's recent election victory is expected to significantly alter U.S. and global climate policies. His administration may roll back regulations on climate reporting and corporate sustainability, impacting efforts to address climate change and potentially increasing emissions. Internationally, Trump's skepticism towards climate agreements could lead to a withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, reducing U.S. commitments and affecting global cooperation. However, state and local initiatives may continue to drive climate action despite federal setbacks. In renewable energy, Trump's administration may weaken support for clean energy initiatives, favoring fossil fuels instead. Despite this, many states are still investing in renewable energy due to economic benefits, suggesting that growth in this sector may persist.
