Americans have more to lose from getting out


WESTPORT, CT - JUNE 04: Dozens of Connecticut residents converge along a bridge at a vigil and rally for the environment and against President Donald Trumps recent decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate accord on June 4, 2017 in Westport, Connecticut. Close to 80 people attended the evening event where critics of the presidents environmental policies held candles and sang songs. Trumps decision last week to pull out of the Paris climate agreement has outraged both world leaders and citizens alike.

THE Malaysian Youth Delegation (MYD), a group of young passionate Malaysians who represent the local youth climate movement at international climate conferences, expresses its deepest disappointment in the United States’ decision to withdraw from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Paris Agreement.

The US president’s intention to renegotiate modalities for their participation in the agreement smacks of cherry-picking.
