As news of Donald Trumps victory reached Marrakech on Wednesday, the many
thousands of diplomats, activists, youth and business groups gathered in
the city for the UNs annual climate conference were left in shock and
disbelief that the US could elect a climate-change denier as president.
.
Some of the younger activists were in tears. My heart is absolutely broken
at the election of Trump, said Becky Chung, a delegate for youth advocacy
group SustainUS from California.
.
We will see a rising-up of peoples movements committed to mass civil
disobedience to keep fossil fuels in the ground. The next four years will
be critical. We have to get to zero emissions by 2050, she said.
.
The delegates from nearly 200 countries, many of whom had spent 20 years
negotiating the complex Paris agreement which aims to limit global warming
to a 1.5C rise, were tightlipped but clearly nervous. The US delegation
went into a huddle, meetings were cancelled and talk centred on whether
Trump would fulfil his often-repeated threat to withdraw the US from the
UNs Paris Agreement blitzing decades of fraught but ultimately successful
global negotiations.
.
No one thought this could happen. Everyone here is in shock, said
Bangladeshi scientist and diplomat Saleemul Huq. No one had anticipated
this result and, hence, there was no plan B. We will have to think about
what happens next.
.
Moroccos minister of foreign affairs, Salaheddine Mezouar, the meetings
president, put on a brave face. We are convinced that all parties will
respect their commitments and stay the course in this collective effort,
he said.
.
But few people agreed with him because Trump has consistently denied 40
years of climate science and he claims that manmade global warming is a
Chinese hoax. Ditching the Paris treaty, he has said, is his number one
environmental priority.
.
Withdrawal from the treaty, which was crafted over years by US diplomats,
often against developing countries wills, would take four years to
complete and would outrage world opinion. Many delegates in Marrakech
privately think it more likely that a new US administration would choose
to ignore it. Because the Paris treaty is voluntary, the US would face
global opprobrium, but no sanctions or fines.
.
Instead of reducing US emissions by a quarter to 28% below 2005 levels by
2025, as the US has pledged, Trump would support US coal, gas and fracking
and halt payments aimed to help developing countries adapt to rising sea
levels and temperatures. The result would be to increase US emissions, set
back attempts to hold temperatures to a 2C rise by years and, say business
and activists, put a brake on the worlds renewable energy industries and
consign poor countries to deeper poverty.
