Macron: France will cover US share of funding for UN climate panel
French President Emmanuel Macron said Wednesday that France would cover the amount the U.S. contributed for climate science research to a United Nations panel after President Trump signaled America would exit the Paris climate change pact.
“They will not miss a single euro,” Macron said, according to Reuters, referring to the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The U.S. has given the IPCC about 2 million euros a year in the past.
