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

The Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) issued a statement following the reelection of Donald Trump, expressing concern over his proposed reversals of climate regulations and human rights protections, and affirming the organization's commitment to resisting these policies through collective action and global alliances.

• Donald Trump's agenda for his second presidency includes reversing climate-related regulations, implementing the largest deportation of immigrants in US history, overhauling federal health and education policies, and eroding rights for women and the LGBTQ+ community.
• During his first term, Donald Trump expanded fossil fuel production, rolled back health and environmental regulations, and withdrew from the Paris Agreement.
• Donald Trump has pledged to increase dependence on fossil fuels, reduce climate-forward policies, and hinder the growth of renewable energy.
• CIEL intends to respond to these threats by defending human rights, building alliances to protect vulnerable populations, and working with civil society and other governments to maintain a global commitment to the rule of law and a healthy environment, despite a potential isolationist turn by the US.
