Climate world still has no solution to Trump 2.0

Politico  

Diplomats, ministers, green advocates and businesses alike avoided engaging publicly with the prospects of a Trump win during nearly a week of events at the United Nations General Assembly and Climate Week, both held in New York as a catastrophic hurricane was bearing down on Florida and the Southeast. “My expectation is, certainly if Trump wins, that he’ll pull us out,” Todd Stern, who was special climate envoy and lead negotiator for the Paris Agreement during the Obama administration, said during an event hosted by environmental think tank C2ES. The danger is more about what would happen internationally, said John Morton, a former climate counselor at Treasury who called U.S. retrenchment “seismic and noticeable.” “When Trump pulls back from Paris, when he stops sending delegations to work with high-emitting countries around the world — whether it’s India or China or Vietnam or Philippines or South Africa, you name it — that agenda lowers in the mind of our international partners, and we lose momentum,” Morton told reporters Thursday. That would borrow from the playbook deployed during Trump’s first term, when U.S. mayors, governors and businesses proclaimed they still intended to meet the Paris climate agreement’s terms. “The trust that we have in the process I think will prevail.” Across the city, environmental advocates banked on renewed optimism driven by Harris’ campaign to keep Trump out of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. “This is such a critical juncture for domestic leadership, global leadership and ultimately whether or not we’re going to solve the climate crisis,” said Sweta Chakraborty, a Harris campaign surrogate and climate activist.
