2016年是美国大选年,奥巴马结束其两届任期后,美国将迎来新的总统,无论是希拉里还是特朗普当选,都无疑将对美国气候政策与行动产生重要的影响。历史上,小布什政府上台之后,就对前任克林顿政府的一系列环保政策措施改弦易张,要么改变,要么喊停,采取了一些列不利于环保的政策主张和行动。如今奥巴马政府实施的一些列积极应对气候变化的政策和行动在2016年后将面临怎样的发展环境,很大程度上取决于未来新任总统及其政府内阁在此问题上的认知与做法。
2016 is the year for the U.S. election. When Obama ends his two terms, the United States will usher in a new president. Both Hillary Clinton and Trump will undoubtedly have a major impact on U.S. climate policies and actions. Historically, after taking office, the Bush administration has either changed its course of action or halted its actions and adopted a series of policy proposals and actions that are detrimental to the environment as a result of a series of environmental protection and policy measures taken against the Clinton administration. Nowadays some policies implemented by the Obama administration to actively address climate change and the actions they will face after 2016 will largely depend on the perception and practice of the incoming president and his government cabinet on this issue in the future.
