The United States officially withdrew from the Paris Agreement.

Reference News Network, January 27 report: According to Kyodo News, the United States officially withdrew from the Paris Agreement, an international mechanism aimed at addressing climate change, on January 27. The United States is the world's second-largest greenhouse gas emitter, and this withdrawal is a major blow to the global effort by countries to combat climate change, which has already shown results. The United States' actions make it even more difficult to achieve the goal of keeping the global average temperature rise within 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels.

At the beginning of this month, the United States also announced its withdrawal from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Given that this convention is a prerequisite for signing the Paris Agreement, it means that even if there is a change in the administration, it would take a long time for the United States to rejoin the Paris Agreement.

The report stated that Trump has always claimed that climate change is "the greatest scam in history." He is hostile to renewable energy, and his policies to ensure a stable power supply through oil and coal will also lead to more greenhouse gas emissions. (Translated by Liu Lin)
