The President-elect has made no secret of his disdain for the multilateral climate regime, and is expected to pull the US out of the Paris Agreement, and maybe even the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. A formal notice to withdraw can be given only after January 20 when Trump takes office. It will be a year before the formal process of withdrawal is completed.
The US, though lame duck, will be present and negotiating at Baku. It will have serious implications for negotiations to set a new goal for climate finance to be provided to developing countries by the rich industrialised ones.
«The US delegation, known for their fearsome legal expertise, will be working around the clock to ensure that whatever is agreed to on finance is something that they can be part of in the future,» said Camilla Born, an independent expert who served as a senior advisor to the UK's COP26 Presidency. «We won't have the flexibility that might have been there if the US were not a party,» she said. The US will therefore be negotiating to ensure that there is an opportunity to return to the multilateral climate talks.
