Experts Say Trump Pullout From UN Climate Fighting Will Hurt World and Leave US Out of Green Surge
The US Treasury cited policy conflicts and a review under Executive Order 14199 to justify ending funding to the Green Climate Fund, the largest climate fund for developing nations.
- On Jan 08, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced immediate withdrawal from the Green Climate Fund and said the US stepped down from its GCF Board seat following a Presidential Memorandum signed Wednesday.
- The administration justified the move by saying, after a review under Executive Order 14199, `Our nation will no longer fund radical organizations like the GCF whose goals run contrary to the fact that affordable, reliable energy is fundamental to economic growth and poverty reduction,` Bessent said.
- The Green Climate Fund is the world's largest climate fund, mobilising financing, strengthening institutions, and building partnerships to support developing countries' climate efforts.
- The Indian government noted reports that the US will withdraw from 66 organisations, including the India-France-led International Solar Alliance , which will continue prioritising cooperation with Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States .
- Against a backdrop of global calls for urgent climate action, President Donald Trump warned, `If you don't get away from this green scam, your country is going to fail`, contrasting leaders like UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
