Climate Week NYC happens when world leaders meet in New York for the United Nations General Assembly.

They discuss difficult problems facing the world.

One of those problems is climate change.

Donald Trump said climate change was a hoax in a United Nations speech.

The year before, he called it the “greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.”

Many policymakers want governments to help renewable energy grow.

Renewable energy includes power from sources such as wind and sunlight, although the article does not provide specific examples.

Trump is being presented as studying how renewable energy could be limited instead.
