America's next president has climate change supporters in New Zealand calling for calm.

Donald Trump claimed a deeply divisive US Election, and there are fears he could scrap their contributions to the Paris Climate Agreements.

Trump has previously stated on social media that climate change is a hoax created by the Chinese to devalue manufacturing in the US.

The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.

Business New Zealand's head of climate change policy, John Carnegie, said everyone shouldn't assume dramatic changes are on the way.

"It's important to recognise that there's sufficient momentum around the rest of the globe. It's not the end of addressing climate change. It's still a very relevant issue."

Carnegie said there needs to be a wait-and-see approach.

"We shouldn't do anything dramatic because we think there might be dramatic action in the US, so we shouldn't do anything knee-jerk, we should just stay the course, and I think that's quite important."
