Tue 30 May 2017

Donald Trump is threatening to pull the United States out of the Paris Climate Agreement. Reports are suggesting Trump has told multiple sources that he plans to leave the landmark agreement, although the man himself says he will make a decision on America’s future involvement later this week. During the election campaign Trump made it clear that he favored withdrawal, while he has also labeled man-made climate change a hoax. The Paris Agreement is a multilateral agreement adopted in December 2015 and ratified by 147 countries that aims to hold the increase in global temperatures to below two degrees and reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions. The agreement is the world’s first comprehensive climate agreement. Reporter Sam Smith spoke to environmental politics lecturer at the University of Auckland Julie MacArthur about what this means for the future of the agreement.
