The U.S. will still meet environmental goals from the Paris climate agreement with or without the help of the Trump administration, former Vice President Al Gore said.
Administration officials in recent days have indicated that the White House instead will seek a deal with less stringent requirements but remain within the pact.
Either way, Gore said the global effort is on the right track. Gore spoke at the United Nations Private Sector Forum.
"But whether that happens or not, U.S. states and cities and businesses and industries are moving forward," Gore said. "The projections now indicate that the United States will meet the commitments made at Paris whether it is affirmed by the federal government or not."
He pointed out the ferocity of hurricanes Harvey and Irma, noting the rarity of storms with such intensity.
