The United States withdrew from the Paris climate agreement signed in 2015, caused severe criticism at home and abroad, the immediate impact covers 3 aspects, including the effects of climate change, global attention all gone beauty development of green energy industry, affect the relationship with Europe and China.
Despite the EU a serious warning and not expected, the president of the United States Trump keep his campaign promise, today announced its withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement, immediately attracted former president Obama et al criticized, and warned of the fear of "self destruct".
The United States decided to withdraw from the Paris agreement by the more than 190 countries finally signed in 2015, the influence level needs further observation, but the government change, then change the policy to countries unable to agree on which is right.
Trump move not only attracted criticism of policy experts, enterprises and environmental groups, that will hurt the global efforts to combat climate change, but also the influence of America in the world.
First of all, in the Paris climate agreement, all countries should abide by the independent set of greenhouse gas reduction commitments, to at the end of this century, the global warming at least in common control than before the industrial age increased less than 2 degrees Celsius, and as far as possible at 1.5 degrees or less. The United States is the largest economy in the world, the second major pollution source country, exit, or pay more attention to the global climate change commitments.
In addition, there may be other countries will choose to follow up, not repeated commitments, triggering a domino effect. Although the Paris agreement will not be ended, China and the EU will be the biggest beneficiaries of the energy transformation. Without the leadership of the United States, many developing countries will continue to develop the petrochemical industry.
Secondly, in 2016 the global green energy industry investment of about $300 billion, the United States will choose to exit the impact of their future development of green energy industry, and these industries bring jobs and economic growth.
The exit will also enable investors and other countries that the development of green energy and China due to declining interest, investing heavily in solar panel and benefit, Germany also expect to become a world leader in electric vehicle battery technology.
Finally, despite the EU warned, Trump still do, let us feel the biggest snub to European countries, and even choose to leave NATO (NATO).
Trump days ago in the group of 7 leading industrial countries (G7) summit, held out in support of the Paris agreement, the western industrial countries disappointed, and doubt the past their relationship with the United states. The US exit agreement will complicate the relationship between the United States and Europe, and the global discussion of climate change will make the United States an outsider and a lone dissident.
In particular, tensions between the United States and China, the global climate change resistance is a rare consensus between the two major powers, and to strengthen bilateral relations, and now everything is gone
