This report discusses developments and prospects for changes in US climate strategy. It explores some of the key factors that have shaped strategies and policies and assesses opportunities for policy changes compared to the preferences of the administration, and the prospects for future linkages between US and international climate change strategies. It argues that substantial changes are unlikely to take place in the near to medium term, leaving open, however, the possibility of wide-ranging changes in domestic politics or major incidents that could facilitate a shift in the perceived need for near-term action.
