Argentina Withdraws from COP29

The Argentinian delegation at COP29 has reportedly withdrawn from the climate conference, just three days after it began. This decision, according to Spanish media outlet Climatica, came under the orders of Argentina’s President Javier Milei. Milei, who took office in November 2023, is believed to be fostering a closer relationship with US President-elect Donald Trump.

The withdrawal of Argentina, which has sparked widespread discussion, comes at a pivotal time in the global climate negotiations. It has led to speculation that the country might reconsider its commitment to international climate agreements, particularly the Paris Agreement. However, there has been no official indication that Argentina plans to withdraw from the Paris accord.
