Introduction
• Climate Change is misunderstood and is viewed by many as irrelevant
• Climate Change's procedures and harm are not a hoax

• The Paris Climate Agreement tries to set goals and standards for different
countries to meet in coming years
• Many countries throughout the world react differently to the impacts of the Paris
Agreement on Climate Change

The listed sources helped to aid my research by discussing the effects of Climate Change
on the environment and people.
If caution is not taken, the impacts of the Paris Agreement on
Climate Change will continue to affect human rights and
agriculture, the human brain, and the United States.

"The strong message sent by the
unanimous adoption of the
Agreement thus strengthens the
ability of the Agreement to
establish a status quo against
which future behavior can be
measured” (Rowell, van Zeben).

Trump and
the Paris
Agreement
Trump pulled the US out of the
Paris Agreement because he
said it would have negative
impacts on the coal and
manufacturing sectors.
Conclusion: If attempts to tackling Climate Change before major
transitions occur are successful, Human Rights and Agriculture will
improve.
• The global environment and climate
need to be treated as a common
concern to humanity
• Climate Change is a threat to human
rights as a whole irishtimes.com
• Successful adaptation of cropping will
be critical in enhancing food security
and sustainable livelihoods.
• If more awareness is presented, ohchr.org
mortality rates will decrease and food
will become cheaper

Conclusion: People will begin to recognize the negative impacts of
Climate Change, causing them to turn to products and services that
are designed and developed to meet the needs of the people in order
to protect the environment.
• People adjust their own behavior to
what they believe is the status quo

• The overall picture could be missed if

people focus on the backbones of the
Paris Agreement

• The Global Alliance for Banking on gabv.org

Values works to make the world of

Conclusion: The withdrawal of the US from the Paris Agreement will make
Climate Change seem irrelevant to neighboring countries, which will cause
an increase in fossil fuel combustion and will decrease economic
development in the country.
• The United States needs to work with key countries
in Asia to strengthen bilateral engagement
• When America leads in cutting carbon pollution,
the world tends to follow.
• Trump pulled the United States out of the Paris
Climate Agreement because he said that it would
have negative impacts on the coal and newint.org
manufacturing sectors

Because of the United States'
withdrawal from the Paris Agreement,
it will be harder than ever to get back
on track to an environmentally friendly
country and world, so it is important
for United States' citizens to recognize
the harm of Climate Change.
