US election 2020: Climate goals may suffer even if Donald Trump loses

Independent of the US presidency, however, states and companies have committed to climate goals and investment in sustainable technologies

The US presidential election is going to swing the stakes for global climate change goals.
 
Under Donald Trump, the world’s largest economy has not just quit the Paris Agreement but has also openly supported carbon-driven energy use. Pulling back of the US would mean the country would not be meeting its $3-billion commitment to the Green Climate Fund (GCF), besides slowing down technological innovation in the area of green energy and sustainability.
 
Also, climate experts are of the view that other nations may take a cue from the US and not stick to their committed nationally determined contributions.
