Minister of State Joseph Harmon, while describing the US’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement as unfortunate, said on Friday that government remains committed to the pact.
“…Many of the countries who have actually signed on to it, did so voluntarily and whether they stay or they go will be a matter of choice for them. But it really is a serious matter of concern for us and we are committed to it. We are committed to the benefits which also accrue under that Paris agreement,” he said.
At the time Harmon was responding to questions during a post-Cabinet press briefing held at the Ministry of the Presidency (MOTP).
