Brazil's Minister of Environment, Marina Silva, has warned that the return of US President Donald Trump to the White House poses a "triple negative" effect on global efforts to curb climate change. This warning comes as Brazil prepares to host UN climate talks later this year. The "triple negative" effect refers to the potential negative impact on climate action due to Trump's policies. The warning highlights the concerns of many countries about the potential rollback of climate policies under Trump's administration. Brazil's environment minister emphasized the need for collective action to address the global climate crisis. The country is set to host important climate talks, which will bring together world leaders to discuss and agree on measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change. The international community is watching closely as the US, under Trump's leadership, may undo key climate findings and policies. The European Union, on the other hand, has reaffirmed its commitment to achieving zero-emission targets by 2035. The EU has also announced plans to grant automakers "breathing space" on CO2 emission targets, while Ireland faces a potential €26 billion EU climate bill due to its slow progress in reducing emissions.
