Donald Trump pulls US out of Paris Accords: How it will weaken the climate fight

India Today  

President Donald Trump, in his first action as the President, once again withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Accords. The move removes the world's biggest historic emitter from global efforts to fight climate change for the second time in a decade. The move comes in the backdrop of the deadly Los Angeles wildfires, which were a direct result of climate change and rising global warming that has hit weather patterns across the world. The Paris Climate Accords, also known as the Paris Agreement, is a landmark international treaty adopted in December 2015 at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of Parties in Paris, France.
