Recommendation

US president Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Agreement on Climate Change sent shock waves through the world of diplomacy, but the decision may not have much practical effect. Many additional factors of equal if not greater significance matter when it comes to mitigating climate change, including other nations’ clean energy policies and global market forces. In this report, experts from Geopolitical Intelligence Services weigh in on numerous aspects of the climate change debate, offering analysis of the present state of global efforts to curb carbon emissions.

Take-Aways

  • In addition to multilateral efforts, the policies of individual countries and market forces will determine whether the world can avoid a catastrophic rise in global temperatures. 
  • Germany’s and China’s commitments to economic growth will likely undermine those countries’ ambitious goals in favor of renewable energy.
  • The shale gas revolution has helped lower carbon emissions more than renewables – especially in the United States.
