Can the COP save the planet? Fears build over climate with Trump's reelection

Edité par France 24 - 2024

The reconstruction costs in the worst affected areas around Valencia are still being assessed. Meanwhile, three major hurricanes have hit the US state of Florida this year: Milton, Debby and Helene. The damage caused in the path of the latter became an issue in the US presidential election.

However, the biggest typhoon so far this year struck in Southeast Asia: Yagi swept across China, the Philippines, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, and, most severely, Vietnam. With a climate change denier now elected president of the United States, the outlook for global warming and its worldwide effects could not be more concerning.

Produced by Théophile Vareille, Rebecca Gnignati and Ilayda Habip. 

Note
  • In Baku, the UN climate conference is underway. The stakes could not be any higher. 2024 is set to be the hottest ever year on record. The damage caused to human life and habitat by the effects of climate change are still being counted in Spain in the wake of deadly floods that claimed over 200 lives.
