U.S. President Donald Trump's speech to the Davos forum rejecting climate-focused policies coincided with the launch of a new global forum to promote clean energy and boost Africa's renewables production.
In a highly anticipated virtual speech on Thursday, the newly inaugurated U.S. leader railed against efforts to combat climate change that he labeled "the Green New Scam." He highlighted his order withdrawing the U.S. from the "one-sided" 2015 Paris climate treaty and his decision to end an "insane and costly" federal program supporting purchases of electric vehicles.
