The US is no longer a member of the Paris Agreement. The termination took effect on Wednesday at midnight New York time, as the UN Climate Change Secretariat had previously stated -
four years after the historic agreement to limit climate change came into force and one year after the US government formally resigned. The US is the first and so far only country to leave the climate agreement.
