The short answer is ...Hi, thanks for your interest! The short answer is no. The long answer, based on what I've heard from several panel discussions and side events over the past few days, is that 1) US negotiators at COP22 are still working under the Obama administration and are moving forward as such, so the Marrakesh COP negotiations (which are working to implement the Paris Agreement) are not affected by the recent election; 2) According to speakers at a “Post-Election: The Outlook for US Climate Policy” session we attended on Wednesday, the feeling in the US is that the incoming president-elect has been all over the map; it's important to remember that campaign rhetoric and actual policy are very different things, so really, everyone is in the same boats to find out what the future holds. The panelists felt hopeful that the new administration will see the business and leadership opportunities climate action brings. Alternatively, as I talk about in Blog Post 6, even if US leadership diminishes at the federal level, the sub-national governments will likely be able to continue their progress on the climate change front, even if it's not directly under the Paris Agreement.
