- What are some of Trump's proposed climate-related policies?
- While the Inflation Reduction Act may be difficult to fully reverse, Trump's plans to increase fossil fuel production and cut subsidies for electric vehicles will likely hinder climate progress.
- What role did climate change play in the recent US election?
- The lack of a prominent climate change theme in the recent election campaign suggests that the issue will not be a top priority for the incoming administration.
- What is the predicted impact of Trump's election on international climate policy?
- Trump's election will likely lead to a less ambitious US climate policy, potentially delaying progress and reducing global cooperation on climate action.

- Although some experts express deep concern, others believe that international cooperation on climate change will continue despite the US's potential withdrawal from the Paris Agreement.
