The US Environmental Protection Agency's review of its “endangerment finding,” which declares that climate change is real and caused by human activity, could provide cover for a massive retreat from climate action at the federal level.
The treaty, signed in 1996, expires next year, and there are unresolved issues with regards to water sharing arrangements. Both Bangladesh and India will need to negotiate a more thorough, equitable and climate-resilient deal.
