President Trump has once again directed the United States to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, a move that significantly weakens global efforts to combat climate change and further isolates the US on the world stage.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday directing the United States to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, a move that deals a blow to global efforts to combat climate change and further isolates the U.S. from its allies. This marks the second time Trump has attempted to withdraw from the landmark agreement. The 2015 Paris accord, adopted by 196 nations, aims to limit long-term global warming to 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit (1.
5 degrees Celsius) above pre-industrial levels or, failing that, keep temperatures at least well below 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius). \In the executive order, Trump argues that the Paris accord does not reflect U.S. values and diverts American taxpayer dollars to countries that do not require or merit financial assistance. He contends that the U.S. should instead focus on its successful track record of advancing both economic and environmental objectives and serve as a model for other countries. \Trump also sent a letter to the United Nations formally notifying his intention to withdraw from the agreement. This withdrawal, which takes one year to be fully effective, will see the U.S. exit the agreement on the eve of a crucial deadline for nations to submit new, more ambitious emissions reduction targets. The previous withdrawal attempt by Trump in 2017, which took effect after the 2020 presidential election, was met with widespread condemnation from the international community. However, no other nations followed the U.S. in leaving the agreement, with many others reaffirming their commitment to combating climate change. The withdrawal from the Paris accord is likely to further isolate the U.S. on the global stage and undermine its credibility as a leader in addressing climate change. Meanwhile, the international community continues to move forward with implementing the Paris Agreement, driven by a growing recognition of the urgency of addressing climate change and the economic opportunities presented by clean energy technologies. \The global market for key clean energy technologies is projected to triple to over $2 trillion by 2035, according to the International Energy Agency. The impacts of climate change, such as extreme weather events and rising sea levels, are increasingly felt around the world, adding pressure on nations to take swift and decisive action.
