Trump's return as president-elect raises fears for global climate action
Donald Trump’s return as president-elect raises concerns about the global response to climate change. He has previously dismissed climate change as a hoax and plans to reverse many environmental regulations established during Joe Biden's administration.
Trump is expected to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Agreement again, joining only a few other countries outside this climate pact. His administration may also attempt to dismantle the federal government's authority to regulate environmental issues, particularly climate change.
The shift in U.S. leadership could hinder international climate negotiations and embolden fossil fuel interests. Analysts warn that this could lead to a significant increase in U.S. emissions, undermining global efforts to combat climate change.
