The Paris Agreement forms part of our domestic legislation. We are bound to it. Whether the United States is part of it is neither here nor there in the context of our domestic situation. Obviously, we have a bigger job to do as a globe. At COP25 later this year in Brazil, I am sure we will be looking further into the future as to what all countries can do in this regard, particularly when it comes to some larger countries maybe not playing the part they previously agreed they would.
