Agenda 2030 – Focus Global Player: The US and Climate Policy
FIW Bonn’s second Agenda 2030 event on the US current position on Climate Change under Trump – how they got there, implications of staying on course, and what’s to come if the US people not take over the reins to change tack by themselves; with Prof Bindenagel, Prof Sielke, Chris Barrett and Mike Bonanno, part of The Yes Men.
However, overall…
Where could this come from?
But besides research revolving around climate change and Agenda 2030’s sustainable development goals (SDGs), there are even more fields where the US is insufficiently using its power and may as well will lose their advantage over others.
The Yes-Men suggests a solution to get the US back on the right course.
Also Chriss Barret sees the problem not with missing technological means.
Mike Bonanno chips in his opinion on what it rather seems to be about.
But where should the first impulse for change come from?
But, do we have enough time to wait for this process to manifest within the system’s behavior and its actions?
Hence, even initially mentioned cause for the wrong cause – the Trump administration – can as such be a means for people to become aware of the approaching danger on the horizon…
… and spur re-invigoration of democracy in the US!
