Online Edition
THE US decision to exit the landmark Paris climate deal is a "major disappointment," a spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Thursday, saying America needed to remain a "leader on environmental issues."
The spokesman, Stephane Dujarric, also said Guterres remained confident that US cities, states and businesses would "continue to demonstrate vision and leadership" by working for a low-carbon future.
"The decision by the United States to withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change is a major disappointment for global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote global security," the spokesman said in a statement.
"It is crucial that the United States remains a leader on environmental issues," Dujarric added.
"The Secretary-General looks forward to engaging with the American government and all actors in the United States and around the world to build the sustainable future on which our grandchildren depend."
