It is a moment of global significance, wrapped in a sober diplomatic formulation: China and the European Union on Thursday committed to a joint climate initiative - with the declared aim of curbing global warming and strengthening the Paris Agreement as \"the cornerstone of international climate cooperation.\" They did not mention the United States by name. But every sentence implied what was meant. For while Washington under Donald Trump has not only reaffirmed its withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement but also dismantled government funding programs for renewable energy, Beijing and Brussels are moving closer together. They are presenting themselves as the new axis of global climate protection - precisely at a moment when many countries are seeking direction and the former leadership claim of the United States is beginning to crumble. The tone of the joint statement is as calm as it is firm: In a \"fluid and turbulent international situation,\" it is crucial that major economies stay the course and \"intensify their efforts to combat climate change.\" Words like a diplomatic seismograph - and a clear signal to a world in which political stability and climate policy reliability have become rare commodities.<\/p>\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s climate policy is based on withdrawing from international agreements, promoting fossil fuels, and systematically weakening national environmental standards. In order to minimize the resulting damage to the climate and global cooperation, international actors, investigative journalists - including ourselves through media coverage and free public lectures - alongside U.S. states and NGOs, are working together to push back with coordinated counterstrategies.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
