EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said the 27-nation bloc will stick to the landmark Paris climate accord, despite President Trump's decision to withdraw from the agreement.
As expected, Day 2 of the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland, witnessed strong responses to President Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, with European leaders stating in no uncertain terms that they will hold fort and remain a part of the global climate pact. European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen said on Tuesday: “Europe will stay the course, and keep working with all nations that want to protect nature and stop global warming.
” In a session at Davos that looked at Europe’s transition to clean energy, Alexander De Croo, Belgium’s prime minister, responded to Trump’s decision saying, “I mean, the world is full of uncertainty after yesterday even more, and maybe tomorrow there might be even more uncertainty. Let’s please, as Europeans within the European Union, not add to the uncertainty by creating ambiguity on our goals.” Business leaders at Davos chimed with the benefits of sticking to a global climate mandate.
