Moodboard/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — In the aftermath of President Trump’s decision to withdraw the United States from a landmark climate agreement signed by 195 nations in 2015, a slew of political and business leaders around the world announced their support for and commitment to the accord.
That support was buttressed by several monuments and landmarks around the world, which were lit up in green as an expression of support for the Paris accord.
