After issuing a directive that requires the removal of any reference to climate change from government sites, Trump puts the load of ninety: the funds for the Green Climate Fund and the environmental justice office is deleted.
Since the first day of his administration, the Tycoon has lost time to sign nine executive orders that aim to in fact sabotage the climatic solutions: from the obstruction to the development of renewable energies to the reopening of areas protected to perforation, to mining and deforestation; the cessation of all the federal environmental justice programs and positions; To declare an “energy emergency” (despite the production of oil and gas of the United States, it is currently establishing a global record of all time) which would allow fossil fuels projects to evade environmental protections; at the exit from the Paris agreements (again); and even redefining the “energy resources” for exclude Solar and wind (as anticipated in Project 2025.)
And you can only guess what else will happen. Finally, these two goodies.
Green Climate Fund: Farewell to US commitments
The Green Climate Fund (GCF) is a crucial initiative that helps over 100 countries to develop adaptation strategies and mitigation against climate change. However, with an official note sent to the United Nations Secretary General, António Guterres, the American Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced thecancellation of all the financial commitments of the United States towards the fund.
This decision further highlights the ecological transition in the most vulnerable countries, which counted on those funding to develop sustainable infrastructures, protect their populations from the impacts of the climatic crisis and invest in renewable energy. It is a serious blow for the Paris agreement, from which the United States have already retired, and more generally for global efforts in the fight against climate change.
The APA environmental justice office dismantled
According to what reported by New York Timesanother fundamental piece in American environmental protection is about to be eliminated: The APP environmental justice officethe body that (had?) The task of defending the most exposed communities against pollution, such as ethnic minorities and economically disadvantaged bands.
The dismantling of the office, considered a first step for the complete elimination of federal environmental justice programs, is alance consistent with the executive order signed by Trump, which aims to deregulation environmental protections and to reduce the federal intervention in the protection of populations most affected by industrial pollution.
A dangerous drift: the United States outside the key international agreements
In addition to the withdrawal from the Green Climate Fund and the weakening of environmental justice measures, the Trump administration has consolidated its isolation from global sustainability policies. The United States are now outside the World Health Organization (WHO), the global agreement on OECD taxes and the Paris Agreement on the climate.
These moves reflect a systematic disengagement from international strategies for the protection of the environment and public health, fueling expert concerns about the future of the fight against the climatic crisis.
With the Green Climate Fund deprived of a fundamental contribution and environmental justice made at risk (in addition to everything else), the premises are very black: the United States risk compromising the health of the whole planet.
