Global green energy push likely to continue despite Trump climate retreat: UN


Davos, Switzerland (AFP) Jan 22, 2025 - Donald Trump's decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate agreement should not slow the global momentum towards renewable energy investments that the deal created, the UN said Wednesday.

"I believe that many countries will continue moving in the direction of green energy," said Celeste Saulo, head of the United Nations' World Meteorological Organization weather and climate agency. As he took office on Monday, President Trump announced the US withdrawal from the 2015 Paris accord adopted by 195 parties to curb greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change. The shift towards renewable energy sources "is ongoing and... brings wealth to the countries", she said on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in the Swiss ski resort town of Davos.
