ALASAN DONALD TRUMP KELUAR DARI PARIS AGREEMENT

Environmental issues are of particular concern to the global community. This is because many countries exploit natural resources without paying attention to the negative impacts that will occur in the future. The United Nations (UN) as an international community organization held a conference where they formed the Conference of the Parties (COP). COP has the responsibility to maintain and make efforts in handling the issue of climate change so that it continues to run in the right direction. The COP meeting is held once a year in which some of the meetings produced the greatest achievements, one of which was the Paris Agreement, namely at the 2015 COP-21 in Paris, France. The agreement aims to limit global temperature rise to below 2 degrees Celsius from preindustrial levels and makes efforts to limit it to below 1.5 degrees Celsius. The Paris Agreement was ratified in the era of President Barack Obama's administration which he said would help to delay the threats posed by climate change. However, since the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States, he has refused to agree to the Paris agreement because it does not benefit the US economy.
