Donald Trump has announced his intention to once again leave the Paris climate agreement, a central theme of his election campaign. The president-elect plans to sign an executive order on his first day in office, officially starting the exit process, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Sources close to Trump have revealed that the measure has already been drafted and is only awaiting the president’s signature. This decision comes in conjunction with the imminent opening of Cop29 in Baku, an international conference focused on climate change.
Trump’s willingness to withdraw from the agreement marks an important continuity with his past environmental policies, which have raised concerns among activists and world leaders.
In a global context where the fight against climate change is becoming increasingly urgent, Trump’s statements raise questions about the future direction of US climate policy. Pope Francis also expressed his hope during the Angelus that the Conference could provide a significant contribution to the protection of our common home, underlining the importance of a collective commitment to safeguarding the environment.
With Trump’s approach, experts fear that the United States could lose ground in international climate negotiations. However, the reaction of nations and environmental organizations could influence the future choices of the American government. COP29 represents a crucial opportunity to revitalize the global dialogue on sustainability and to address environmental challenges collaboratively. The international scene is waiting to see how climate dynamics will evolve under the new administration and what concrete measures will be adopted to address an issue that concerns us all.
