Dlouhy President Donald Trump extended the US retreat from global cooperation on climate action by signaling a withdrawal from flagship international organizations , including the main United Nations and scientific bodies focused on the issue. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change are among a total of 66 groups the US will exit , spanning multiple sectors. The climate moves are seen as likely to diminish the US role in addressing greenhouse gas emissions, and significantly limit the global influence of those entities. Trump’s actions are in line with his domestic policy changes aimed at removing curbs on pollution and fossil fuels, and follow a decision in January 2025 to begin a year-long process to quit the Paris Agreement, the binding 2015 accord to combat global warming.
