How will Donald Trump’s US election win affect COP29 climate talks? | BBC News


World leaders taking part in the latest annual UN climate meeting in Azerbaijan are hoping to agree action to help rein in rising global temperatures.

US President-elect Donald Trump is a known climate sceptic who has called efforts to boost green energy a "scam", and his victory has been seen by climate experts as a major setback.

He won’t actually be at COP29, and the team representing President Joe Biden will push for progress, but they know that anything agreed will not bind the new administration.

A key issue under discussion at the talks in Baku is how to get more cash to poorer countries to help them curb their planet-warming gases, and to cope with the growing impacts of climate change.
