The article discusses President Donald Trump’s announcement to withdraw the United States from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and other international climate bodies, aligning with his administration’s broader stance against climate science. This decision is part of Trump’s ongoing exit from the UN system, which he claims contradicts U.S. interests. The UNFCCC, established during the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, is crucial for global climate agreements. Trump’s actions, which include previously withdrawing from the Paris Agreement and other UN organizations, have raised concerns about the future of U.S. climate policy and cooperation. Critics, like Rachel Cleetus from the Union of Concerned Scientists, view these moves as detrimental to global well-being and collaboration, terming the administration as “authoritarian” and “anti-science.” The ambiguity in the U.S. Constitution regarding the process of treaty withdrawal could prompt legal challenges.
