Challenges in Climate Change Cooperation

♤ Under President Trump the USA has embarked on a different path on the issue of Climate change.

♤ President Trump, on 1 June 2017, announced the US withdrawal from the Paris Climate Change Accord. While doing so he accused India of demanding billions of dollars to comply with its commitments under the Paris Pact. This was resolutely refuted by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj. This divergence poses challenge to future climate change cooperation.
