Trump's Re-election and Pledge to Roll Back U.S. Carbon Cuts Overshadows COP29 in Azerbaijan
Nov 11, 2024, 08:45 AM
The COP29 climate talks opened on Monday in Baku, Azerbaijan, under the long shadow cast by the re-election of Donald Trump, who has pledged to roll back the United States’ carbon-cutting commitments. The US had been a major diplomatic force in climate talks under previous administrations, leading to concerns that Trump's victory could usher in a new era for global climate diplomacy. Azerbaijan's COP29 lead negotiator, Yalchin Rafiyev, has spoken to Sky News about Trump's victory, highlighting apprehensions over the US's future role in climate efforts. As EU greenhouse gas emissions fall significantly, there is a pressing need to globalize and accelerate this trend, sidestepping any potential negative impact from the new US administration.
