Trump Wants to Pull the America From the Paris Agreement, What Words the World?
What would happen if U.S. President Donald Trump would like to withdraw America from the Paris Agreement?
Will Luluk’s Upadate’s friend have a significant impact on climate commitments globally?
This week, Luluk’s Upadate found media coverage that was quite interesting related to Uncle Sam’s country’s commitment to the global climate crisis. In the past two years Donald Trump himself has stated that he wants to withdraw America from the Paris Climate Agreement.
However, the process of removing the U.S. from the agreement took a year. Therefore, America itself until now cannot come out until the 2020 presidential election. The Paris agreement can be said to be very sacred because it was signed by nearly 200 countries that have the aim to reduce or control the pollution that settles in the atmosphere.
The 2015 climate agreement was boosted by the U.S. and China. The agreement came into force on November 4, 2016. One of the provisions in the agreement said no country could withdraw in the first three years.
This week, America can only begin the withdrawal process. The process begins with sending a letter to the United Nations. The U.S. hasn't officially left one year after that. One day after next year's presidential election. Once out, America will be the only country not bound by the Paris Agreement.
See you at Luluk’s Update next week.
