Paris: Laurent Fabius, the French politician who chaired talks on a landmark, global climate change deal in 2015, on Wednesday denounced moves by US President Donald Trump to undo Obama-era climate change regulations.
"The initial decisions from the new US president's administration concerning the battle against global warming constitute a very serious step backwards," Fabius said in a statement.
Fabius added that such moves were contrary to measures adopted in the December 2015 agreement, known as the COP21 accord.
