El Acuerdo de París sigue adelante, con o sin Trump

The authors describe the US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement as a historical, economic, and geopolitical error that could slow global progress but may also act as a catalyst for other nations and US subnational entities to maintain climate commitments.

• The decision by the US President to exit the Paris Agreement is characterized as a historical error that may slow other nations' progress, an economic error that ignores clean energy opportunities, and a geopolitical error that isolates the US internationally.
• The US had committed to reducing emissions by 26-28% by 2025 compared to 2005 levels; the World Meteorological Organization suggests abandoning these commitments could lead to a future temperature increase of up to 0.3ºC on top of the current 1ºC increase.
• Major global actors including China, India, and the European Union have indicated they will continue to fulfill the Paris Agreement regardless of US participation, and there is no evidence of a 'domino effect' leading to other countries withdrawing.
• Internal resistance to the federal US decision is evident through a coalition of governors from California, New York, and Washington, as well as support from mayors of large cities and some Republican states like Florida.
• The global financial sector is shifting investments from fossil fuels toward clean energies, and major US companies such as Morgan Stanley, Microsoft, Unilever, and Google, along with oil companies BP and ExxonMobil, support the Paris Agreement for the sake of stability and certainty.
