News19 March 2026


In an article published in ECO, Jane Kirkby, a partner in Antas da Cunha Ecija's Public Law practice, analyses the recent decisions by Donald Trump's administration that call into question one of the pillars of US climate legislation, warning of its implications on a global scale.


The lawyer points out that the weakening of structural instruments of US climate policy could jeopardise not only the country's commitments, but also the international dynamic of cooperation in the fight against climate change.


Jane Kirkby also emphasises that this regulatory setback could create uncertainty in the markets and affect global alignment in terms of energy transition, arguing for the importance of stable and predictable legal frameworks to ensure investor confidence and the effectiveness of environmental public policies.
