Urtarrilaren 20an, Washington DCko estadioko jendetzaren artean animoa piztu zen Donald Trump AEBetako presidenteak AEBak Parisko klima-itunetik ateratzeko agindua agertoki gainean sinatu zuenean. The the order He said the movement was interested in putting “America first.” Baina talde ekologistek erabakia gaitzetsi zuten, munduko bigarren berotegi-efektuko gas-igorle handiena akordiotik irteteak klimaren kalteak areagotuko dituela argudiatuta, AEBek mundu mailako negoziazioetan duen eragina bere arerioari eta energia garbiko jaulari, Txinari, lagatzen dion bitartean.
“This is about the US and the Trump administration shooting themselves in the foot,” he says At the World Resources Institute, a global environmental non-profit. “It will leave the U.S.”
This is the second time that Trump has taken them out of the US A landmark agreement agreed in 2015 to limit global warming to well below 2°C above the pre-industrial average. Nazio Batuen Itunaren arauak direla eta, 2017ko lehen irteerak hiru urte behar izan zituen ofiziala izateko, eta AEBek hilabete batzuk baino ez zuten utzi Joe Biden AEBetako presidente ohiak 2021ean herrialdea berriro sartu arte.
Oraingoan, akordioaren arauek erretiratzea ofiziala izateko urtebete beharko dela xedatzen dute, eta une horretan AEBak izango dira akordioan parte ez den ekonomia handi bakarra. The other countries that have not signed are Libya, Yemen and Iran.
“This is certainly not good news for international climate action,” he says at the Asia Society Policy Institute in Washington DC. AEBk erretiratu ziren lehen aldian ez bezala, bigarren irteera hau herrialdeak isurpen handinahiak murrizteko gogoak oztopo geopolitiko, sozial eta ekonomikoak aurrez aurre zituen momentuan dator, dio. Iaz ikusi zen record global emissions while the increase in the average temperature of the world
AEBen irteerak herrialdea indarrik gabe utziko du emisioen murrizketa sakonagoak bultzatzeko, eta mundu osoko herrialdeek beren klima konpromisoak murrizteko aitzakia sor dezakete. “Globally, even before Trump’s election, climate momentum was diminishing,” says Li.
However, the US withdrawal does not mean “taking the bottom off” from global climate action, says Waskow. Countries that account for more than 90 percent of the world’s emissions remain committed to the Paris agreement. Haize- eta eguzki-energiak, ibilgailu elektrikoek, pilek eta beste teknologia garbiek ere paper handiagoa dute gaur egun AEBk erretiratu ziren lehen aldian baino paper handiagoa jokatzen dute munduko ekonomian.
“The rest of the world is switching to clean energy,” he says at the Natural Resources Defense Council, a US environmental group. “This will slow that transition, not stop it.” Baina AEBek etorkizun hori moldatzeko zer rol izango duten zalantzan jartzen du, dio.
China is bigger, that is the clean energy industry dominates many key areass, from solar panels to batteries, and is increasingly exporting its technology worldwide. “AEBek ez dute soilik merkatu horiek nola moldatzen diren eragingo, baizik eta merkatu horiek lagako dituzte”, dio Waskow-ek. “I don’t think other countries will think of the U.S. first when thinking about who to deal with.”
Klima-ekintza globalaren atzerakada ere Trumpen administrazio berriak aurreko administrazioaren politikak atzera botatzeko, bertan behera utzi edo oztopatzeko bizkor egin zuen bere karguan lehen egunean egindako agindu exekutibo ugaritan. These include banning federal permits for wind power and delaying policies put in place by Biden to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles. Others aim to boost fossil fuel development on federal lands, coastal waters and Alaska and natural gas exports to settle another order. It is a “national energy emergency”. “We’re going to drill, baby, drill,” he said in his inaugural address.
