The move, which echoes his 2017 decision to exit the accord during his first term, has reignited global concerns over America\u2019s commitment to fighting climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Signed by nearly 200 nations in 2015, the Paris Agreement is a landmark accord designed to curb global temperature rises by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It requires each country to set voluntary targets for cutting emissions, with progress reviewed every five years. Wealthier nations also pledged financial support to help developing countries transition to cleaner energy and cope with climate-related disasters.<\/p>\n<p>Trump argues that the deal places an unfair financial burden on the U.S. while giving rival economies, such as China and India, more leeway to continue emissions growth. \u201cThis agreement punishes American workers and taxpayers while letting the biggest polluters off the hook,\u201d Trump said in a statement. \u201cWe will no longer be part of a deal that weakens our economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. is the world\u2019s second-largest annual emitter of greenhouse gases and historically the biggest contributor to global warming. Climate scientists warn that without U.S. participation, efforts to limit temperature rise to the agreed 1.5\u00b0C target will face major setbacks. The United Nations has warned that current climate pledges are insufficient, with global warming projected to reach as high as 2.8\u00b0C by 2100.<\/p>\n<p>While Trump\u2019s decision is expected to take a year to fully take effect under UN rules, it has already drawn sharp criticism from environmental advocates and world leaders. The U.S. now joins just a handful of nations, including Iran, Libya, and Yemen, that are not part of the Paris Agreement.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington, D.C., Jan 29 \u2013 President Donald Trump has officially begun the process of withdrawing the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement, fulfilling a key campaign promise on his first day back in office.
