US' fossils policies threaten climate action progress

The stance of the new US administration is a cause for concern because a lot of inputs were required for people to take climate change seriously, which may be undone, Dhawan said in an interview with Mint. "We had to convince people to take action against climate change." Dhawan, speaking ahead of the curtain raiser for the Teri's World Sustainable Development Summit 2025, said the US is equally impacted by climate change, and that policy nudges towards fossil fuel adoption will not be feasible in the long run for anyone
