💨 Abstract
The U.S. decision to withdraw from the UN's key climate treaty is criticized as harmful to the U.S. economy and global climate efforts. UN climate chief Simon Stiell called it a "colossal own goal." President Trump's administration withdrew from the UNFCCC, the Green Climate Fund, and the IPCC, drawing criticism from European officials and environmental groups. Former Vice President Al Gore accused the administration of undermining climate science and global diplomacy.
