Trump’s sudden change of stance on climate change policy is a devastating setback in the fight against global warming.

Under the leadership of Donald Trump, the United States has made a sudden U-turn in its climate policy, abandoning the Paris Agreement and dismantling important environmental protections. As a result, international cooperation on climate issues has seen a significant downturn, and polluters as well as the fossil fuel sector have been emboldened. The advancement of clean energy has become a secondary priority, and the occurrences of severe weather events have increased, affecting disadvantaged communities that are already disproportionately affected by climate change.
