The Trump administration and its relationship with climate change
The Paris Climate Agreement was signed by 194 nations in 2015 with the objective of limiting the increase in global temperature to 1.5° C, according to the UN. In 2017, the Trump administration requested the United States leave this agreement and in November 2020 it was finalized.
However, In January 2021, President Joe Biden signed an instrument to return the nation. After his presidential campaign, the Republican promised to once again withdraw his country from said agreement.
Which countries participate in the Paris Climate Agreement
Almost all countries in the world have pledged to strive to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius in the Paris Agreement. According to scientists, this would avoid cascading and worsening impacts such as droughts, heat waves and catastrophic sea level rise.
They warn that at that level, the man-made climate crisis, fueled by heat-trapping fossil fuel pollution, begins to exceed the capacity of humans and the natural world to adapt.
But the new data make it clear that further delays in climate action by the main world economies will ensure that even higher levels of warming are reached, and with it, increasingly worse impacts.
