With a change in presidential administrations comes a change in priorities when it comes to climate change. With his second term in office, President Trump has once again withdrawn the U.S. from the Paris Agreement. At the same time, Atlanta-based Greenlink Analytics is working with local and state governments to create policies and programs addressing climate change. CEO Matt Cox is also urging officials to factor in communities facing economic, health, and environmental challenges. Cox shares why he believes focusing on these communities is key to making meaningful reforms.

Plus, Rosaline Kwan, the Consul General of Canada to the Southeast United States, discusses the Trump administration’s ongoing trade disputes between Canada and the U.S. and how tariffs, and retaliatory tariffs, could have impacts on Georgia's economy. Kwan will also share what she knows from her two decades of working in international trade.
