U.S. and other countries try to reassure the rest of the world that efforts to arrest climate change will continue.

But there's a sense of real worry about how the absence of leadership will impede the effort.

Trump 's victory as president of world’s largest polluter in history threatens to upset the global climate talks.

The U.S. withdrawal could offer China an opportunity to take more of a leadership role in shaping the talks.

But China ’s climate change envoy Liu Zhenmin said Monday that the idea of a US withdrawal still worries Beijing .

For some diplomats, the problem is that at a moment when the world needs more global cooperation, Trump is setting up an environment in which there will be less.

Climate disruption could send food and energy prices higher, head of U.N. climate body says.

Simon Stiell says the climate process is the only place we have to address the rampant climate crisis.

He also points to the importance of global climate cooperation and the need for participation by all nations.
