Jean Su, Energy Justice Director for the Center For Biological Diversity, joins to discuss her recent piece in the New Republic entitled “Trump’s Election Is a Disaster for the Climate—and an Opportunity.”
Jean Su then joins, jumping right into the unfortunate timing of Trump’s reelection as the ever-insufficient COP29 environmental conference is held in fossil-fuel haven Azerbaijan, as she and Emma unpack the extreme limitations (largely pushed by the US) of the Paris Agreement, and why Trump’s plan to withdraw from the agreement might, in fact, open up an opportunity for the international community to explore greater economic, environmental, and energy alternatives on the global scale. After expanding on the myriad insufficiencies and clear western-centricity in the existing Paris Agreement, and the importance of giving countries in the global south – where the impact of the climate catastrophe is greatest – a greater role at the table, Su explores how the battle over climate change is shifting drastically from one between rich and poor nations to one between rich and poor people. Wrapping up, Julie and Emma tackle the lackluster progression to the climate transition in the US under the Biden Administration, and why pushing against capitalism is central to this fight moving forward.
