The G7's environmental ministers meeting in Paris on April 23-24 deliberately removed climate change from the agenda to avoid conflict with the Trump administration, which has withdrawn from global climate agreements and rolled back environmental protections since returning to office. This reflects a real shift in negotiating leverage — the US is now the outlier blocking rather than driving climate action at the multilateral level. The poster's 'bending the knee' framing is inflammatory language for a straightforward diplomatic capitulation that Climate Action Network and WWF also criticized on the record.
