IMF and World Bank leaders pledge at UN climate summit to work with Donald Trump

It is the business proposition to stay ahead of the curve, and I have no doubt that this will continue,

she said

They have a mandate from the American people,

she said

For those of us dedicated to climate action, last week’s outcome in the United States is obviously bitterly disappointing,

Podesta said at the summit

Let’s dispense with the idea that climate finance is charity,

he said at the Baku stadium

People will be saying, well, the U.S. is the second-biggest emitter. It’s the biggest economy in the world ... If they don’t set themselves an ambitious target, why would we?”

Marc Vanheukelen, the E.U.’s climate ambassador from 2019 to 2023, told Reuters

The American people re-elected President Trump by a resounding margin giving him a mandate to implement the promises he made on the campaign trail,

Gina McCarthywhite House climate adviser

No matter what Trump may say, the shift to clean energy is unstoppable and our country is not turning back,

McCarthy said

Our citizens, especially young people, understand that climate change poses an existential threat we cannot afford to ignore,

Podesta said

We are here to work, and we are committed to a successful outcome,

he declared, affirming the U.S.'s intention to push for real progress

This fight is bigger than one election, one political cycle in one country,

he said

But what I want to tell you today is that while the United States federal government, under Donald Trump, may put climate action on the back burner, the work to contain climate change is going to continue in the United States,

Podesta said

All the countries must join hands and tackle the problem of climate change,

said Khalis, speaking through a translator

This is not the end of our fight for a cleaner, safer planet. Facts are still facts. Science is still science. The fight is bigger than one election, one political cycle in one country. This fight is bigger, still, because we are all living through a year defined by the climate crisis in every country of the world,

he added

We have more liquid gold than any country in the world,

the president-elect said on Wednesday

I’m heading to Baku to reassure the international community that large swaths of the US remain committed to steering the planet away from climate catastrophe, a catastrophe that is already doing massive economic harm and driving up prices for insurance, food, and other goods and services,

he wrote in an email

The Paris agreement has survived one Trump presidency and it will survive another,

she said

The two biggest players in the ring are the US and China, and China is extremely aware of that. It has just got a guarantee that the US president won’t be bringing up climate change with them for the next four years and that means something,

he said

No one wants to return to the law of the jungle, no one wants to go back to the era of confrontation and the Cold War, and no one wants to return to unilateral hegemony. This is the backdrop that China-EU relations are facing,

Cao said

Everybody’s concerned about next steps … whether after the U.S. election, U.S. climate policy will or won’t change,

said Liu

The international situation has really changed — we’re also concerned about the United States after the election,

he said, speaking to reporters before a side event at the COP29 U.N. climate talks in Azerbaijan
