With Mark Carney's Win, Trump Is Now Sandwiched Between Two Climate Leaders
Briefly

Mark Carney was elected as Canada's prime minister with limited discussion of climate change, choosing to focus on economic and trade issues instead. His background in climate finance positions him uniquely as a climate leader, suggesting a strategy where climate action can occur without making it the focal campaign issue. This mirrors Claudia Sheinbaum's election in Mexico, who similarly avoided overt climate campaigning. Their successes prompt reflection on the approach to climate advocacy, contrasting with the current U.S. climate policy struggle under President Trump, highlighting a potential new narrative on climate leadership.
