According to NBC News “A sweeping global agreement to combat climate change by shifting the world economy away from fossil fuels will take force next month after passing a threshold for ratification on Wednesday with support from European nations.
President Obama, speaking from the Rose Garden, called the “Paris Agreement” potentially a “turning point” for our planet.
“This gives us the best possible shot to save the one planet we’ve got,” Obama said.
Addressing climate change has been a core goal for the president and netting the Paris climate deal is considered a critical part of his environmental policy legacy.
“One the reasons I took this office was to make America the leader in this mission,” Obama said.
