Will President Trump slow down the green transition in America and beyond?

President Trump has made sweeping changes to America's policies
on climate since being sworn in 100 days ago. He has announced
plans to "unleash" American energy, including revitalising the
coal industry and boosting oil and gas. The president has also
cut funding for clean energy projects and renewables, while
slashing jobs in government-funded climate research. Experts also
say Washington's trade tariffs are having a big impact on the
global market for new technologies such as solar panels and
electric vehicles.

So what does all this mean for the green transition in America
and beyond? Graihagh Jackson talks to the BBC's US environment
correspondent, Carl Nasman, BBC climate editor Justin Rowlatt and
Zerin Osho, director of the India programme at the Institute for
Governance and Sustainable Development based in Washington DC.

Graihagh also chats to Tom Di Liberto, a climate scientist who
was recently fired from America's National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
