The election of Donald Trump was seen negatively by most environmentalists, but the American Conservation Coalition (ACC) celebrated, viewing it as an opportunity for an 'America-first climate strategy.' Founded in 2017 by college students, the ACC has evolved into a significant political force, claiming around 60,000 members and connections throughout Congress. President Chris Barnard highlighted a potential shift for Republicans, suggesting that environmental issues could be reframed as conservative initiatives, aiming for tangible progress during Trump's administration. With ties to key nominees, the ACC's influence will be tested in the upcoming years.
The American Conservation Coalition aims to reshape environmentalism into a conservative platform, seizing a unique political opportunity in the wake of Trump's election.
Chris Barnard believes that Republicans can turn the environment from a left-wing liability into a conservative opportunity for progress and success.
