Climate leader urges action after Trump pulls U.S. from Paris Agreement again

Update: 2025-01-24

Description

President Donald Trump has officially begun his second term.

One of his first moves was to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Agreement — again.

What will that mean for greenhouse gas emissions and climate solutions?

Jonathan Foley is executive director of Project Drawdown.

He said, “This is not game over. It’s game on. It means the rest of us have to step up and do a lot more.”

Foley shared more insights about the road ahead with MPR News chief meteorologist Paul Huttner.
