Abstract
The activities of the US administration in the field of climate change and national climate policy are studied as well as the impact of this policy on the United States’ position in the global community. A new problem has been identified: the attempt to put the climate agenda at the forefront of US domestic and foreign policy has not yet led to significant practical results. The analysis of the effect of the US climate legislation (adopted in August 2022) is given. The predictions on the dynamics of national greenhouse gas emissions and the forecast of the US’ fulfillment of obligations to decarbonize the economy by 2030 are offered. The prospect of changes in the US role in the global climate agenda in the light of the fundamental changes in the world order revealed in 2022 is assessed.
