The United States has officially notified the Secretary-General of its withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement, effective January 27, 2026.

UN spokesperson, Stéphane Dujarric, said this at a news briefing yesterday in New York 

During the first Trump administration the U.S. withdrew from the Agreement effective November 4 2020, before his successor took the country back into the accord on  February 19, 2021.

The UN spokesperson said the latest withdrawal would not lead to any slowdown in the UN’s efforts to combat climate change.
