00:53 Syria to Enter Climate Agreement With Syria’s intent to join the Paris climate agreement, the U.S. is set to become the world’s only holdout.

At a Glance Syria announced it will commit to the Paris climate agreement during climate meetings in Germany.

This leaves the United States as the only nation in the world that isn't committed to the accord.

In June, President Donald Trump announced the U.S. will pull out of the accord as soon as possible.

Syria announced Tuesday that it will sign the Paris climate agreement, leaving the United States as the only country on the outside.

Confirmed by the New York Times, the Syrian delegate at the COP23 Climate Summit in Bonn, Germany, made the announcement that the country is ready to join the climate accord and send its commitment in writing to the United Nations. Last month, Nicaragua also committed to the agreement, leaving Syria and the U.S. as the only outliers at the time.

The climate accord was drawn up in 2015 with the goal of limiting global temperature rise to no more than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, which would require sharp reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in the coming years. Each nation has committed to realistic goals, with many developing nations allowed to set a more lenient goal, but all committed countries will be asked to cut carbon output.

Syria has not yet submitted its own goals, the Times also said.

In a June 1 press conference at the White House, President Donald Trump ceremoniously announced the country would pull out of the climate accord as soon as they're allowed, which is not until November 2020.

Trump also said the U.S. is open to rejoining the accord if it can negotiate better terms. He believes the current agreement is bad for some U.S. industries, like coal and oil.

"As the president previously stated, the United States is withdrawing unless we can re-enter on terms that are more favorable for our country," White House spokeswoman Kelly Love said Tuesday in a statement obtained by the Times.

Experts believe global temperatures will still rise above that 2-degree threshold, even if the U.S. recommits to the climate accord, and that's one of the reasons world leaders have gathered in Bonn for meetings this week , according to Quartz.
