Nearly every other country on earth is part of the Paris Climate Agreement. Trump may turn his back on the world, but states and local governments can still advance climate progress.
The United States will withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord, the White House announced Monday, repeating an action President Donald Trump took during his first administration.
Withdrawal requires the president to submit a letter to the U.N. and would take effect in one year.
