- Story Text: Oxfam, a global humanitarian relief organization on Friday (May 26) urged G7 leaders meeting in Taormina, Sicily, to press U.S. President Donald Trump against backing out of a key agreement on climate.
Packaged as a "stunt" a few kilometres away from the fenced-off conference, the act targets Trump's electoral campaign promise to pull his country out of the October, 2016 agreement which world's countries had been working toward for years in a bid to reduce the danger of industry-driven global warming.
In the act, mock-up G7 leaders are loitering at a signpost showing the way to the Paris agreement. The leaders are trying to persuade a seated, reluctant Trump to follow the path to the accord.
Launched in Great Britain in 1942 as an effort to fight famine in the world, today Oxfam is a global alliance of 20 organizations in 90 countries and a major provider of relief in humanitarian crises. G7 groups the world's leading economies: United States, Germany, Great Britain, Japan, France, Italy and Canada. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
