Abstract

President-elect Trump emphasized pulling the United States of America (“U.S.”) out of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Paris Climate Agreement [hereinafter Paris Agreement], despite the executive agreement ratification by President Obama earlier this year. In fact, Trump called for a cease of all U.S. tax dollars payments to U.N. global climate change programs and a withdrawal from the Paris Agreement in his first 100 days in office. Contrary to Trump’s intentions, Article 28 of the Paris Agreement stipulates that a party which has ratified, as the U.S. did on September 3rd, 2016, may not withdraw from the Paris Agreement before four years.
