Developed countries have a tighter deadline for achieving net-zero emissions that developing countries – which requires even faster growth of renewable energy – and all countries are behind schedule.

Solar For All, its funding paused by a Trump executive order, would be just one of the programs to lose support if the agency goes through with mass-firings.
