Mohamed Nasheed, certainly wants to talk about climate change. He says his homeland is on “death row” thanks to Trump’s decision earlier this year to pull out of the Paris Accord, the multilateral effort to drastically reduce global carbon emissions.
The prime minister of Fiji, Voreqe Bainimarama, whose entire population of 870,000 faces the prospect of being made homeless by global warming in the coming decades, wants to talk about it. Bainimarama will preside over the 23rd climate change conference in Bonn in November, where world leaders will try to chart a course forward on multilateral decarbonisation efforts in the wake of Trump’s shameful walkout.
Even 13 US states, which together account for a third of America’s GDP, want to talk about climate change. The mayors of 83 US cities want to talk about it. And not only do they want to talk about it – they want to act on it. They want to get on with reducing emissions through smart regulations, new taxes and investments in renewable energy infrastructure.
