US Exits Paris Climate Pact Again

US Exits Paris Climate Pact Again

The United States has left the Paris climate agreement for the second time, making it the only country to do so twice.

This decision was made by President Donald Trump, who also announced that the US would leave the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.

While the US is stepping back, other countries like China are taking a bigger role in fighting climate change.

China makes a lot of the world's solar panels and wind turbines, but its plans to reduce emissions are not enough for some experts.

Some countries, like Israel, might follow the US, but others are taking stronger action to protect the environment.

The US leaving the agreement could make it harder for the world to meet its climate goals.
