One of President Donald Trump\u2019s first moves in office this week was to withdraw the US from the Paris Agreement, as he did the first time he was President. Just three days later, billionaire Michael Bloomberg stepped in to help the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) remain fully funded despite the US ending its international climate contributions.<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor, a UN special envoy on climate change and, according to the Forbes\u2019 global billionaires list, the 16th richest person in the world, announced his funding pledge on 23 January. The core of the UN climate organisation\u2019s budget comes from its almost 200 member countries. As the world\u2019s largest economy, the US usually pays the biggest dues at around 21 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>What is the Paris Agreement? A full guide to the historic climate treaty that Trump loves to hate<br \/>\n\u201cWe deeply appreciate the generous support from Bloomberg Philanthropies and the leadership shown by Mike Bloomberg,\u201d said Simon Stiell, United Nations Climate Change Executive Secretary. \u201cWhile government funding remains essential to our mission, contributions like this are vital in enabling the UN Climate Change secretariat to support countries in fulfilling their commitments under the Paris Agreement and a low-emission, resilient, and safer future for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In one of a slew of executive orders on Monday, including withdrawing from the World Health Organisation, Trump moved to withdraw the country from the Paris Agreement and end the country\u2019s international climate funding. Trump previously withdrew the US from the global climate accord during his first term in 2017, but the country soon rejoined under President Biden. It will take around a year for this new withdrawal to take effect &#8211; when it does, the US will join Iran, Libya and Yemen as the only UN countries not part of the agreement.<\/p>\n<p>For now, Bloomberg Philanthropies, along with other US climate action financiers, have said they will cover the amount the US owes each year to the UNFCCC. It did not give details of the exact amounts of funding or who the other climate funders are. \u201cFrom 2017 to 2020, during a period of federal inaction, cities, states, businesses, and the public rose to the challenge to uphold our nation\u2019s commitments &#8211; and now, we are ready to do it again,\u201d Bloomberg in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>How Alaska\u2019s beauty, China\u2019s renewables and Biden\u2019s caution could save the climate from Trump<br \/>\nHe added that more and more Americans have had their lives torn apart by climate-fueled disasters like the wildfires raging in California. At the same time, he says the US is experiencing the \u201ceconomic benefits of clean energy\u201d with prices falling and jobs created across both Republican and Democratic states.<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg, a media billionaire, also pledged to work with states, cities and companies to ensure the US stays on track with its global climate commitments. That includes working with subnational climate leaders to track and report on the country\u2019s progress over the next four years. \u201cThe American people remain determined to continue the fight against the devastating effects of climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2025\/01\/24\/billionaire-michael-bloomberg-to-fund-un-climate-change-body-after-us-exits-paris-agreemen\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/billionaire-michael-bloomberg-to-fund-un-climate-change-body-after-us-exits-paris-agreement\/\">Billionaire Michael Bloomberg to fund UN climate change body after US exits Paris Agreement<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[462,575,17707,402],"class_list":["post-136879","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-climate-change","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-michael-bloomberg","tag-un"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136879","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136879"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136879\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136879"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136879"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136879"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
