Summary
With Donald Trump back in power, experts warn of possible severe impacts on global climate action, particularly regarding international agreements like the Paris Accord. Concerns are raised about Trump's long-standing dismissal of climate science and potential moves to undo U.S. climate regulations and withdraw from the United Nations climate framework.
