What has Donald Trump's first 100 days meant for sustainability?

It's been 100 days since Donald Trump entered the White House for a second time — on an election ticket that promised the end of renewable energy subsidies and embracing "coal, beautiful coal". But how else has Trump and his administration approached sustainability policy? And is the backlash already under way?Sustainable Views editor Philippa Nuttall, acting deputy editor Elizabeth Meager and policy researcher Erin Donnelly discuss reporting on Trump's first 100 days and how Sustainable Views' Trump watch is following the changes in policy. Erin explains how the EPA has had a fundamental reframing under new chief Lee Zeldin, while Elizabeth explains how the fightback against some of the policies being put in place may come from state or international level.
