CIEL Defends Democracy, Environment, and Human Rights Following Trump Reelection

CIEL expresses concern over Donald Trump's reelection, citing his pledges to reverse climate regulations and expand fossil fuel production. The organization commits to resisting these 'regressive plans' by building alliances, defending the rule of law, and protecting the right to a healthy environment globally.

• Donald Trump's agenda for his second presidency includes the reversal of climate-related regulations, the stifling of renewable energy growth, and an extension of dependence on fossil fuels.
• CIEL views the reelection as a threat to the actions required to address climate change and protect vulnerable communities both in the United States and worldwide.
• In response to the political shift, CIEL intends to scale up global commitments to the rule of law and a healthy environment, working with civil society and other governments to counter a potential 'isolationist turn' by the US.
