World Resources Institute Addresses Recent Trump Administration Actions

The World Resources Institute warns that the Trump administration's retreat from climate action and multilateralism—including withdrawing from the Paris Agreement and freezing foreign assistance—will undermine U.S. security, prosperity, and global stability. The organization highlights that the U.S. provides over 10% of global climate finance and cautions that halting this support will make it harder to reach the $1.3 trillion target needed by developing countries by 2035.

• The Trump administration has implemented several measures to reduce U.S. climate action, including withdrawing from the Paris Agreement, freezing most domestic climate spending, and freezing most U.S. foreign assistance, which includes international climate finance.
• The U.S. contributes more than 10% of global climate finance for countries in need; the cessation of this funding may hinder the achievement of the $1.3 trillion climate finance target required by developing countries by 2035.
• The World Resources Institute argues that the U.S. retreat from climate action will lead to increased domestic challenges such as high energy bills, food prices, floods, and wildfires, while causing the U.S. to miss out on the global clean energy economy and green jobs.
