American climate policy after the elections. Ambitious plans and the specter of Trump's veto

Donald Trump's second term was marked by a rollback of U.S. climate policy, including withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and support for fossil fuels. The recent midterm elections raised questions about potential shifts in climate policy, as many voters expressed concern over rising energy prices. Democratic candidates, responding to these concerns, emphasized the connection between climate change and energy costs. Changes in Congress may lead to increased funding for climate resilience programs, despite Trump's veto power. A U.S. congressional delegation plans to attend the upcoming COP31 climate summit, signaling a potential re-engagement in climate policy discussions.
