 U.S. Withdrawal from the Paris Agreement

  • Trump’s exit from the Paris Agreement weakens global climate efforts, especially since the U.S. is a major contributor to carbon emissions, responsible for over a fifth of global CO2 emissions.

  • The U.S. has consistently failed to meet climate obligations, from avoiding the Kyoto Protocol to withdrawing from binding commitments under the Paris Agreement.

  • The shift from legally binding targets (Kyoto) to voluntary contributions (Paris) was mainly due to domestic political constraints in the U.S.

Impact on Global Climate Action

  • The U.S. withdrawal places more responsibility on other countries, particularly emerging economies, increasing their climate mitigation burdens.

  • Developing nations face rising inequality, with fewer resources for adaptation, energy access, and development, while also being pushed towards rapid decarbonization.

  • The U.S. and other rich nations have reduced climate aid, further hindering the development prospects of poorer nations.

Reaction and Failures of Market Solutions

  • Some suggest that the U.S. withdrawal creates private sector investment opportunities in green technologies, but this has not led to meaningful emissions reductions.

  • Despite market-driven solutions, fossil fuel dependence in the U.S. and EU remains high, with over 80% and 70% of their energy coming from fossil fuels, respectively.

  • Academics and civil society in the global North have often promoted the idea that sub-national efforts can substitute for national action, but these efforts remain largely ineffective 

Advice for Developing Countries

  • Developing countries must avoid the illusion that they can compensate for the U.S.'s withdrawal and should not expect more than rhetoric from developed countries.

  • They must stick to multilateralism as climate change is a global challenge, and focus on adaptation alongside emissions reductions.

  • While climate leadership should be pursued, countries like India should also prioritize bridging development gaps and ensuring a fairer burden-sharing in global climate action.
