Le désengagement actuel des États-Unis de l’Accord de Paris s’inscrit dans un mouvement anti-durabilité très largement amorcé en 2024. L’un des signaux les plus forts a été donné dans le secteur de la finance, avec le retrait de grandes banques états-uniennes, telles que Bank of America et Morgan Stanley, de la Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA), initiée par les Nations unies, qui vise à mobiliser le secteur bancaire vers une économie neutre en carbone.
