It will be bittersweet or the ultimate victory lap.
Finally, 1,253 days after U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to leave the Paris climate deal,he will by Wednesday take his country out of the global agreement.
The 2015 pact between 197 countries committed to a goal to halt warming “well below” 2 degrees Celsius, and strive to hold it at 1.5 degrees, by garnering increasingly ambitious voluntary commitments from governments.
The U.S. State Department will no longer be an active member at U.N. climate meetings on the Paris deal. But it will remain anobserver, allowed to sit in, and a member of the U.N. Framework Climate Convention (of which the Paris deal is just a part). No one really knows how this will work.
