Trump is China’s chance to be world’s climate leader
A power vacuum, with the US expected to turn conservative regarding the climate crisis, may give other major negotiating blocs an opportunity to come to the fore
IN LESS than two weeks, Donald Trump will, once again, be inaugurated as the president of the United States.
Scenarios of a climate apocalypse have hogged headlines ever since the former US president was re-elected in November last year.
Well known for calling climate change a hoax, Trump had pledged during his presidential campaign to withdraw the US from the Paris Agreement, expand oil and gas production, as well as cut funds allocated to the climate legislation known as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
