Donald Trump has reclaimed the presidency in a historic 2024 election comeback, signaling potential shifts in U.S. and global climate priorities. After controversies including Capitol unrest and felony charges, Trump’s victory repositions the U.S. but raises concerns for climate advocates. Environmental group Bellona warns Trump’s administration could sideline the U.S. in the climate fight, hindering the global goal of limiting temperature rises to 1.5°C.
With the U.S. retreating, Europe, led by the EU’s Green Deal, will likely lead the charge, aiming to be the first climate-neutral region by 2050. This change could redefine Europe’s role in energy, technology, and economic discussions, positioning the EU as a central figure in global climate action.
