America’s Climate Diplomacy Challenge and the Path to Rebuilding Credibility

September 3. 2025


No one was surprised when the United States withdrew from the Paris Agreement for a second time earlier this year. What shocked the international community were the vicious attacks on federal climate scientists and diplomats negotiating in multilateral climate fora, paired with the swift dismantling of domestic clean energy investments in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) – especially as most of the investments benefit workers and communities in red states.

Due to weather extremes earlier in the year, their peach season, which usually ends in August, concluded early. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)
