It came as a surprise to nobody that one of Donald Trump’s first acts on his return to the White House was to sign an executive order withdrawing the US from the Paris agreement on climate change.

President Donald Trump pulled the US out of the Paris Agreement. The stakes couldn’t be higher for the planet and our ability to adapt.
