Among them are various United Nations agencies and, most significantly, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the backbone of global climate governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">During his first term, President Trump removed the U.S. from the Paris Agreement, using its withdrawal clause. But a newly elected President Joe Biden promptly returned the nation to the agreement in 2021, making it a central gesture of his climate diplomacy. The episode exposed the fragility of international climate policy: A simple change in administration could send the U.S. in or out of the agreement, rendering global climate commitments mere extensions of domestic, partisan politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">This time, however, there is a degree of permanence to the change. By targeting the UNFCCC itself, the Trump Administration has dismantled the legal framework that made possible reversal by a simple executive decree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Adopted under the 1992 Convention, the Paris Agreement is built on the institutional architecture of the UNFCCC, whose bodies provide necessary support. These include the Conference of the Parties, the secretariat, and a system for financial contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Paragraph 3 of Article 28 of the Paris Agreement reads as follows: \u201cAny Party that withdraws from the Convention shall be considered as also having withdrawn from this Agreement.\u201d By leaving the Framework Convention, Washington severs the link that allowed Biden\u2019s reentry into the Paris Agreement. Trump\u2019s withdrawal is structural, not tactical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The key precedent insulating Trump from a Supreme Court challenge is Goldwater v. Carter, in which the high court in 1979 declined to review President Carter\u2019s unilateral termination of a mutual defense treaty with Taiwan, effectively strengthening executive authority over withdrawals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">In practice, a president, therefore, can withdraw from a treaty without a clear judicial avenue to stop him. The Trump Administration sits in a legally comfortable position: Opponents have no leverage to undo the move and seeking a new Supreme Court ruling risks establishing further executive power over treaty termination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Democrats are paying the price for designing Paris to avoid Senate ratification. Knowing they lacked a two-thirds majority, the Obama administration insisted on voluntary, non-binding contributions and targets, which ensured Paris would rest on a reversible presidential signature rather than durable treaty law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The Trump Administration has fully absorbed these lessons. During his first term, Trump withdrew only from the Paris Agreement, leaving the UNFCCC intact and allowing his successor to rejoin easily. This time, Trump\u2019s action is far more radical: By targeting the Framework Convention itself, Trump deprives future presidents of convenient diplomatic back\u2011and\u2011forth. Politically, the message is clear: Washington increasingly views climate diplomacy as an instrument of external constraint, beneficial to America\u2019s strategic competitors, a burden on U.S. industrial competitiveness and costly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Formally, the U.S. could rejoin the UNFCCC, but politically it would now require a level of consensus that no longer exists. Approved in 1992 with faith in a painless energy transition, the Convention today confronts economic and geopolitical realities that expose prior illusions and make revival unlikely any time soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What are climate true believers in the EU supposed to do now? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">One question rarely voiced publicly in Brussels, Strasbourg or Berlin: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How long will the European Union persist in a climate strategy that no longer meaningfully binds either the United States or emerging nations beyond benevolent declarations?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The EU continues to lock itself into ever more ambitious targets (90% CO2 reduction by 2040 compared to 1990), while eroding its industrial base, deepening its dependence on China, and widening the gap between rhetoric and the reality of global emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Instead of ritual denunciations of Trump, European leaders should ask this question: If the world\u2019s leading economic and military power no longer wants to be trapped in a U.N.\u2011 led climate architecture, isn\u2019t it time for the EU to reassess its own commitments with clear eyes?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The wrong answer will leave Europe discovering too late that it has sacrificed its prosperity and strategic autonomy to a climate lunacy abandoned by its closest \u2013 and most consequential \u2013 allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Originally published in&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/2026\/02\/americas-irreversible-goodbye-to-climate-governance\/\">National Review<\/a>&nbsp;on February 7, 2026.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/co2coalition.org\/teammember\/samuel-furfari\/\">Dr. Samuele Furfari<\/a>&nbsp;is a professor of energy geopolitics in Brussels and London, a former senior official with the European Commission\u2019s Directorate-General for Energy and a member of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/co2coalition.org\/\">CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;Coalition<\/a>.
