If the US were to withdraw again from the Paris Agreement, it wouldn’t necessarily mean the end of the agreement itself, but it would significantly impair its effectiveness, like losing an organ—it can survive but will function poorly and potentially collapse.
The absence of US participation could embolden other countries to reconsider their commitments to climate action, leading to increased risks of catastrophic temperature rises and extreme weather events globally.
The US must not only remain in the Paris Agreement but also implement necessary policies to strive for the target of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees above preindustrial levels, which is crucial for avoiding extreme climate impacts.
The historical context shows the US, as the first country to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, has significant influence over global climate strategy, making its continued participation vital.
