US Quits Green Climate Fund, Citing 'Radical Organizations'

  • US Treasury Department formally announced the country's immediate withdrawal from the Green Climate Fund (GCF).
  • Decision aligns with the Trump Administration's commitment to withdraw from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
  • US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated GCF goals were 'contrary' to Washington and would not fund 'radical organizations'.
  • The withdrawal reflects the Trump Administration's focus on advancing affordable, reliable energy for economic growth and poverty reduction.
  • This follows Trump's order to withdraw from 66 international organizations, including the India-France-led International Solar Alliance (ISA).

Why It Matters: US exits Green Climate Fund and other international bodies, citing 'radical organizations' and conflicting interests.
