US OFFICIALLY REJOINED PARIS CLIMATE CHANGE AGREEMENT

KARIMI & ASSOCIATES LAW FIRM PRESENTS ACCORDING TO THE UNITED NATIONS:

The U.S. formally re-entered the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, a move that could help shape global ambitions on climate change.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres during a virtual event on Friday stated: The official return of the United States to the Paris Agreement on Climate Change represents good news for the whole world. The US, under the Trump administration, withdrew from the landmark treaty to curb global warming but President Joseph Biden reversed the decision when he assumed office in January.

“For the past four years, the absence of a key player created a gap in the Paris Agreement; a missing link that weakened the whole”, Mr. Guterres said.

“So today, as we mark the United States re-entry into this treaty, we also recognize its restoration, in its entirety, as its creators intended”.

 “The Paris Agreement is our pact with our descendants and the whole human family. This is the race of our lifetimes. We must go much faster, and much farther”, the Secretary-General said.
