Climate policy under Trump 2.0
As 2025 unfolds, geopolitical upheaval, trade wars, weakened economies and technological shifts are reshaping climate policy and sustainability efforts in the US and beyond. Following the election of Donald Trump for a second term as US president, climate initiatives are being scaled back, fossil fuel exploration is being encouraged, and supply chain disruption is redefining how public and private sectors can pursue decarbonization.
