El Acuerdo de París sigue adelante, con o sin Trump

The document asserts that the Paris Agreement's universal and flexible nature allows it to proceed without the United States. It characterizes the U.S. withdrawal as a historical, economic, and geopolitical error that ignores climate science and risks isolating the country. However, it notes that key actors like China, India, and the European Union remain committed, and that internal U.S. resistance from states like California, New York, and Washington, as well as support from major corporations, provides a counterweight to the federal decision.

• The Paris Agreement is described as a universal and flexible framework designed to limit global temperature increases to below 2°C, utilizing short-term feasible agreements that increase in ambition over time.
• The decision by the U.S. president to withdraw from the agreement is framed as a historical error that could slow global progress, an economic mistake that ignores clean energy opportunities, and a geopolitical error that isolates the U.S.
• The World Meteorological Organization indicates that the U.S. abandonment of its commitment to reduce emissions by 26-28% by 2025 (relative to 2005 levels) could result in a future temperature increase of up to 0.3°C on top of the existing 1°C increase.
• Despite the U.S. withdrawal, key entities including China, India, and the European Union have stated they will continue to fulfill the Paris Agreement, and there is no evidence of a 'domino effect' leading other countries to withdraw.
• Internal resistance to the federal U.S. withdrawal is evident through a coalition of governors from California, New York, and Washington, as well as support from major companies such as Microsoft, Google, Morgan Stanley, Unilever, BP, and ExxonMobil.
