Trump withdraws US from Paris Agreement again raising climate concerns

livemint.com

Donald Trump has withdrawn the United States from the Paris Agreement on climate change, echoing his previous decision in 2016. He cited concerns over China's carbon emissions and described the agreement as unfair to the U.S. This withdrawal raises concerns for developing countries that rely on global cooperation for climate finance and action. Experts warn that the absence of the U.S., the world's largest economy, could hinder efforts to meet climate goals and secure necessary funding. As countries prepare to submit their next climate action plans, there are fears that they may scale back ambitions due to reduced financial support. However, many nations are expected to continue pursuing renewable energy and climate policies despite the U.S. exit.
