Editorial: Le Monde

• Donald Trump’s administration has launched significant attacks against ecological transition.
• Shows attempts to reopen coal plants and facilitate oil and gas production.
• He's leading offensives against electric vehicles and environmental standards.
• There’s a “purge” of climate science, including mass layoffs and budget cuts.
• The US, being one of the top global polluters, hampers the global fight against global warming.
• The context has changed in eight years due to wars in Ukraine and Gaza, energy tensions, and budget austerity.
• Ecological awareness has become unpopular and has fuelled protests against standards in many countries.

Conclusion: Security in Europe will be impossible without climate security. Leaders should aim to overcome these barriers.
