US Withdraws from Key Global Climate and UN BodiesTrump orders exit from 66 multilateral groups, including top climate and human rights organizations, affecting global cooperation.
- The US is exiting the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and 65 other international organizations mainly related to environment and human rights.
- This move is driven by a presidential memorandum aiming to save taxpayer money and emphasize an 'America First' agenda.
- Experts warn that this withdrawal undermines climate efforts and risks harming US economic interests and security.
- UN officials stress that opportunities remain for the US to rejoin these international climate agreements in the future.
While all other nations are stepping forward together, this latest step back from global leadership, climate co-operation and science can only harm the US economy, jobs and living standards, as wildfires, floods, megastorms and droughts get rapidly worse.— Simon Stiell, executive secretary of the UN’s climate arm, on the impact of the US withdrawal from international climate initiatives.
