US withdrawal from international commitments weakens climate cooperation

The U.S. is withdrawing from over 60 international organizations, a move experts warn will weaken global governance and fragment power. This disengagement, including from climate cooperation, is seen as geopolitical self-harm, potentially driven by insecurity and a desire to reshape America's global role. The EU is emerging as a key anchor for climate governance, while some European leaders view U.S. actions as a threat to global stability and rule-based order.
