World leaders are obviously not happy.
Yesterday, June 1, American President Donald trump shocked the world community by its decision to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris climate agreement, which was followed by immediate reaction of the world.
The President of the United States Donald trump June 1 announced that the country is coming out of the Paris climate agreement — the most ambitious in the history of the agreement in this area, which many supporters of the document was called “future of mankind”.
Its decision he explained that the agreement was “very unfair” to US, could harm their economic interests. Thus, trump has accomplished one of his major campaign promises and at the same time attacked by another legacy of his predecessor, Democrat Barack Obama, thanks to which the Paris agreement was possible.
We come out of the Paris agreement, but will begin talks on joining again or in the Paris agreement, or in a completely different transaction on fair terms, for American business, workers, and taxpayers.
Paris climate deal: what is it?
Agreement to combat climate change was produced in Paris in 2015, and entered into force on 4 November 2016. For a start, his actions had to have the agreement ratified by at least 55 countries, which together emit more than 55% of the greenhouse gases in the world.
Signatures under the document were put by representatives of over 170 countries, including the US, China and Russia. The Paris agreement obliged the US by 2025 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 26-28% compared with 2005 levels.
The agreement is intended to replace the Kyoto Protocol enshrines a normalized obligations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The document also suggests the allocation by 2020 to developing countries 100 billion dollars to address environmental problems.
What they say in the world
In the Kremlin before the historic decision trump said that Russia attaches great importance to this agreement and believe that without key members of the Convention, its implementation will be hampered.
The President of France Emmanuel macron: “Today, Donald trump announced the US withdrawal s Paris climate agreement. I respect that decision. But I also think it’s a terrible mistake, as for the United States and throughout the world.”
The United Nations: “the US Decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement is a big disappointment for the global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promoting security in the world”.
European Union: “Today is a sad day for the world community as a key partner again pulled away from the fight against climate change. The EU deeply regrets the unilateral decision of the administration to trump on the withdrawal of the US from the Paris agreement. The Paris agreement will continue to apply. The world can continue to count on Europe as a global leader in the fight against climate change.”
German Chancellor Angela Merkel in a telephone conversation with trump expressed regret. Merkel tuned “more than ever” to work for global climate policies to preserve the planet. Later in a telephone conversation with President of France, the leaders agreed to take further initiatives to climate agreement were successful.
Former rival trump in US elections, Hillary Clinton: “a Historical mistake. The world is moving forward together in the issue of climate change. Withdrawal from the Paris agreement leaves American families and workers behind.”
Also, due to its decision trump suffered a serious loss – the White house left the founder of companies SpaceX and Tesla Elon Musk, who was an adviser to the President of the United States.
Leaving the presidential councils. Climate change is real. Withdrawal from the Paris agreement does not Bode well neither America nor the world.
In addition, do not agree with the decision of the us leader and ordinary Americans, who staged a protest at the White house.
Hundreds of protesters urged the US government not to withdraw from the Treaty. People came with numerous posters in support of the Paris agreement: “Please leave US in the Paris agreement”, “I stand for the future of our country and the world”, “Covfefe exist, and climate change — no?” “The world, rest in peace”.
