Trump’s Return: Withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement

The topic of climate change is back at the center of political debate with the imminent decision of Donald Trump, the president-elect of the United States. During his election campaign, Trump clearly expressed his intention to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement, a global commitment to combat climate change. According to the Wall Street Journal, an executive order to formalize this exit is already ready and will be signed on his first day in office.

Executive Order Details

Sources close to Trump have confirmed that the measure has been meticulously prepared and is only waiting for the president’s signature. This decision has raised concerns among activists and world leaders, especially on the eve of the Conference of the Parties (COP29) to be held in Baku, where the future of global climate policies will be discussed.

The Reaction of the International Community

In an already tense global context regarding environmental issues, the Pope’s words during the Angelus offer a note of hope. The pontiff urged the participants of the Conference to work for an effective protection of “our common home”, underlining the importance of concrete actions in the fight against climate change. His statements represent a call for unity and collective responsibility at a crucial moment. Looking ahead, the United States’ withdrawal from the Paris Agreement could represent a significant setback in global efforts to address climate change. However, the international community’s reaction and local initiatives could positively influence the fight against this global crisis. With events like COP29 on the horizon, it remains to be seen what the long-term consequences of this decision will be and how world leaders will respond to new environmental challenges.
