The US announces withdrawal from 66 international organizations including UNFCCC, International Solar Alliance, and IRENA, following a comprehensive review by the Secretary of State. UNFCCC Executive Secretary Simon Stiell criticized the decision as a "colossal own goal." This move continues the administration's retreat from renewable energy support, including previous termination of clean electricity tax credits and pausing of Inflation Reduction Act funding.
