The U.S. plan to withdraw from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change has drawn international attention.

US media: The Trump administration plans to withdraw the United States from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the foundational treaty supporting international climate cooperation.

The US joined and had the treaty ratified by Congress in 1992. The convention aims to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere to prevent human interference with the climate system. The US will also withdraw from 66 international organizations, including several United Nations agencies.

This decision has sparked controversy. Former Secretary of State Kerry criticized it as "a gift to China," saying it would marginalize the US in global climate governance and make it difficult to rejoin the Paris Agreement in the future.
