The Paris Agreement: Holding Developed Countries Accountable
NASSAU, BAHAMAS – The United States’ decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement has placed the climate accord in international headlines.
NASSAU, BAHAMAS – The United States’ decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement has placed the climate accord in international headlines.
But how will it impact countries that are vulnerable to climate change like The Bahamas?
Our News spoke to a young environmental scientist who explains the importance of the agreement and how it benefits The Bahamas.
It’s a legal binding international treaty adopted by 96 parties at the UN Climate Change Conference also known as Cop21 in Paris, France.
Under the International Climate Accord, first negotiated in 2015, countries around the world agreed to cut greenhouse gas emissions in an effort to limit global warming and the worst impacts of climate change.
For Bahamain climate and environmental scientist Amber Turner, it’s agreements like this, that benefit The Bahamas.
But not everyone is a fan of the Paris Agreement.
On his first day back in office, January 20, 2025, U.S. president Donald Trump signed an executive order to withdraw the United States from it.
A move that’s been criticized by environmentalists.
And while international law makers continue to do their part, Turner says she’s been making a difference in her home island of Grand Bahama.
