The collapse of UN-backed environmental talks last year has left a dismal state for the planet, but "Trump 2.0" could potentially shift the narrative towards greener policies. A new approach may bring about long-overdue action on biodiversity, plastic pollution, desertification, and climate change.

In a surprising shift, former US President Donald Trump's 2024 re-election bid, dubbed "Trump 2.0," may inadvertently pave the way for significant environmental reforms. Last year saw devastating consequences for the planet, with disastrous climate change action and UN-backed talks on biodiversity, plastic pollution, and desertification collapsing or failing to make meaningful progress. The reversal in Trump's stance could create an opportunity for a new generation of leaders to push forward with ambitious green initiatives. This sudden change in tone may just open the door to a more sustainable future, as politicians and environmentalists eagerly await the proposed policy changes.
