<title>Former UN Secretary&#45;General urges US President to rejoin global climate efforts</title>
<link>https://imxpa.com/210</link>
<guid>https://imxpa.com/210</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged the US President to rejoin global efforts to combat climate change as the COP30 conference began in Brazil. Ban Ki-moon called the US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement &quot;deeply regrettable,&quot; emphasizing that the climate crisis transcends borders. The White House, however, stated that global &quot;climate goals&quot; are detrimental and would have &quot;killed America&quot; if the current administration had not intervened to stop them. ]]></description>
