Your guide on what Trump's second term for Washington, Business and the World means

More than half of nearly 1,500 medium -sized and large business business leaders plan to move their operations within five years to better access renewable sources, an investigation carried out in 15 countries has noted and almost all supported a long -term change in fossil fuels.

The results were based on interviews with approximately 100 C-Suite executives from each country since Donald Trump was elected to the White House, which aroused concerns concerning companies that stand out from their commitments to a green transition. Countries included the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil and India.

Liz Minné, director and head of global sustainability at interface, the American floor covering company, said that the survey has shown that “global companies include the urgent need to pass fossil fuels to renewable energy”.

Although participation in the survey was anonymous, Iberdrola, Natura and Schneider Electric were among those who lend their support for the results.

“A rapid passage of fossil fuels with renewable powers and electrification has a strong commercial meaning and ensures the safety and resilience of energy,” said the world director of climate change of Iberdrola, Gonzalo Sáenz de Miera.

More than three -quarters of the companies questioned supported a transition to an electricity system based on renewable energies by 2035 or earlier, according to the ballot, which was carried out between December and February.

A similar number said that it has associated renewable energies with stronger energy security, while the majority wanted to bypass gas supply in a passage of coal, to move directly to renewable energies and electricity storage systems.

Some 52% of those questioned said that they would move their operations and that 49% would transfer supply chains to better access to electrical systems based on energy within five years, if their internal market lacked green energy. This figure has increased to 89% of senior executives within ten years.

“If it is adopted, such measures could have huge ramifications for the international competitiveness of countries and domestic income,” said research.

In addition, according to the survey, nine out of ten said that access to electricity based on renewable energies was an “top priority” when weighing potential destinations for new investments.

More than 80% said that the problem had also influenced when they choose to locate their commercial operations and the countries where they turned for the purchase of goods and services.

Up to 93% of those questioned said they planned to invest in their own renewable installations on site.

The results have shown that despite political and economic uncertainty, the leaders “strongly support a rapid transition to renewable power,” said Nick Mabey, director general of E3G, a green reflection group that commanded research alongside climate-focused groups beyond fossil fuels and we mean Business Coalition.

Research said that US policy stressed that the expansion of fossil fuels, 97% of American leaders interviewed wanted to see the government extending renewable electricity in the network.

Since his entry into office in January, Trump has launched a radical attack on climate policies in the United States, while his threatened rates have aroused fears of a world trade war that could push the cost of the higher energy transition. Last week, his administration made order to stop building a large offshore wind project in New York.

There are also concerns of turning back green in Europe, while the continent rushes to pay the rearmed following the threats of Trump to leave NATO.

But 78% of German business leaders of the survey declared that an accelerated renewable transition would reduce the country's exposure to volatile energy imports.

In the United Kingdom, 55% of managers said that renewable energies would help stimulate economic growth, but reported concerns about the high initial costs with the transition to renewable energies as a transition barrier.

In India, 84% of managers supported a passage from fossil fuels to the production of electricity based on renewable energies during the next decade, despite the country's high dependence on coal.

Overall, at least three -quarters of respondents have linked renewable energies to economic and crucial growth for job creation.
