The US government has rejected a global deal aimed at helping developing countries, including Kenya, mitigate the effects of climate change.
President Donald Trump's administration has rejected reforms that seek to introduce climate taxation and reinforcement of credit ratings, and fossil fuel subsidies, according to Reuters.
In particular, the US government is against a call for countries to explore global solidarity levies that include taxes on highly polluting activities and a proposal for only rich countries to fund climate change mitigation efforts.
Reuters also noted that the US is against reforms in the credit ratings which proposes a more forigive credit rating for poor countries that voluntarily restructre their debt and invest in green projects.
