In his first week, President Trump has issued executive orders that could significantly impact climate technology and policy. One order signals an intent to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, while another targets electric vehicle (EV) support programs, aiming to eliminate subsidies and public charger installations. This move could affect states like California, which has set a mandate for all new vehicles to be zero-emissions by 2035. Additionally, Trump has paused all federal permits, leases, and loans for wind energy projects, potentially chilling investment in this sector. The administration has also called for a pause on funds from the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which includes hundreds of billions for climate research and infrastructure. This pause has led to confusion and legal challenges, with a federal judge blocking the order. These actions could slow down existing projects and affect climate technology development, with significant political and economic consequences.
