THIS JUST IN – The United States President-elect Joe Biden has pledged to rejoin the Paris Agreement which his predecessor Donald Trump exited five months into his administration in 2017.
On June 1, 2017, United States President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. would cease all participation in the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change mitigation, and begin negotiations to re-enter the agreement “on terms that are fair to the United States”
However those interest in the renegotiations waned and the United States stayed away from the important global accord regressing important advances that had been made in the area of fighting climate change.
But in a tween minutes ago, Joe Biden said “On day one, my administration will rejoin the Paris Agreement and put America back in the business of leading the world on climate change.”
The Paris Agreement is an agreement within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, dealing with greenhouse-gas-emissions mitigation, adaptation, and finance, signed in 2016.
Many observers believe America -s leadership is crucial in advancing the objectives of the global agreement and thus welcome its possible re-entry.
