US to pull out of Paris Agreement 27 January next year
US President Donald Trump
The United States has officially notified the Secretary-General of its withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement, effective 27 January 2026, UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said on Tuesday.
The historic accord reached by 193 countries in December 2015 in a bid to keep temperature rises to below 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, was signed by the US on 22 April 2016.
During the first Trump administration the US withdrew from the Agreement effective 4 November 2020, before his successor took the country back into the accord on 19 February 2021.
Fight continues against global warming
The UN Spokesperson said the latest withdrawal would not lead to any slowdown in the UN’s efforts to combat climate change.
"We reaffirm our commitment to the Paris Agreement and to support all effective efforts to limit the rise in global temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius," said Mr. Dujarric.
The international community continues to work towards the goals set by the Agreement, despite the US's decision to withdraw. – UN News
