Washington DC, November 4, 2019 — Greenpeace today condemned the Trump administration’s formal notification to the United Nations that the United States is withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement. Greenpeace USA Executive Director Annie Leonard said:
“By withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement, the Trump administration is turning America from a global climate leader into a global climate deadbeat. As wildfires burn and storms surge, millions of people have been taking to the streets to demand their leaders tackle the climate emergency caused by burning fossil fuels. The renewable energy industry is growing exponentially.
