There is no going back from the Paris
climate accords, Environment Minister Gian Luca Galletti said
Monday after US President Donald Trump failed to agree with his
Group of Seven colleagues in Taormina Saturday.
"There's no going back, Italy and Europe will remain anchored
to the accords of the Paris Protocol," said Galletti, predicting
that Trump "will have problems inside his economy".
In the Paris accords, Galletti said, "there is the future of
the planet, but also the future of the global economy. Today,
framing environmental policy is not a burden for business, but
an advantage. America will make its choices, that's legitimate.
They are choices that will weigh, but we will go forward. We
have made a commitment and we will keep it".
