OPEC Fully Supports Paris Climate Pact

OPEC Secretary-General Mohammad Barkindo said on Tuesday that the oil producer group fully supports the Paris Agreement on climate change.

The statement comes a day after the Trump administration said it had filed paperwork to withdraw the US from the pact.

“OPEC is fully engaged with the Paris Agreement.“ Barkindo said at the launch of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries’ World Oil Outlook.

The US move is part of a broader strategy by President Donald Trump to reduce red tape on American industry. Reuters said. However. it comes at a time scientists and many world governments urge rapid action to avoid the worst impacts of global warming.
