Report: Trump climate order guarantees US will not meet Paris commitments

摘要

President Donald Trump’s plan to reverse the U.S. EPA’s Clean Power Plan and other climate policies will prevent the U.S. from satisfying its commitments to the Paris climate deal, according to a new study. The findings highlight doubts about the fate of U.S. participation in the climate pact, which the country joined during the Obama administration. Trump released an executive order March 28 that directed EPA to review its Clean Power Plan and suspend, revise or rescind the rule. The regulation required each state to meet specific emissions rate limits, which the EPA estimated would cut power sector carbon output by 32% from 2005 levels by 2030.
