After President Biden came into power, of the first things he was to sign an executive order saying the US will rejoin the Paris Agreement. Today, it was made official. United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken posted a tweet saying the US “is once again a Party to the Paris Agreement.”
Blinken went on to say that “the work to reduce our emissions has already begun” and that “we will waste no time in engaging our partners around the world to build our global resilience.”
The Paris Agreement is an international accord containing 143 countries who plan on working on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and was made in 2015. Barack Obama was the president that signed the US on in 2016, but Donald Trump withdrew it the following year, saying he wanted to “give America a level playing field.”
The process of leaving the accord formally began in 2019, and a four-year rule tied to the agreement made it so that the date for a country to officially withdraw would be four years after joining.
