Post-Paris and climate under Trump

New Policy Forum Pod tackles the future of the Paris Climate Agreement and whether it will survive a possible Donald Trump presidency. 

The Paris Climate Agreement was an historic accord which saw 175 countries agree to tackle carbon emissions, but can that diplomatic victory now be turned into an economic and environmental win?
