美国（2017年6月1日）——保护国际基金会联合创始人、主席兼首席执行官Peter Seligmann先生，代表保护国际基金会就总统特朗普决定美国退出《巴黎协定》作出回应：
“美国总统特朗普宣布退出《巴黎协定》的决定，对美国的国家和经济安全来说是一个退步。当全球社会都在为应对气候变化寻找解决方案时，这个决定使得美国脱离了全球社会。这样的决定正在孤立美国，然而此刻，我们正需要凝聚一心，为保护我们唯一的家园寻找新的解决方法。
幸运的是，总统的这一决定并不会消除世界各地企业、投资者、政府及公民对抗气候变化的决心。《巴黎协定》依然是气候变化国际合作的支柱，几乎拥有全球所有国家的支持和认可。而且，中国和欧盟正在向全球共同展示领导力，作为全球气候治理进程的维护者和推动者，引领全球对抗气候变化。《巴黎协定》依然引领着数以百万计的美国民众、企业以及我们整个国家来应对气候变化这个共同挑战。致力于解决气候变化因素的政府将会从清洁的能源、更健康的人类社会和更强大的经济中受益。
我们不会放弃，保护国际基金会将在对抗气候变化的道路上继续努力，以科学和野外示范为基石，鼓励和激励全世界各地的合作伙伴一起，通过保护能为我们提供至少30%解决方案的森林和生态系统，避免气候变化所带来的最坏影响，减少气候变化对人类所带来的威胁。”
"President Trump's decision today to begin the process of withdrawing from the Paris Agreement is a setback for the national and economic security of the United States. It prevents our nation from having a seat at the table as the global community creates solutions for addressing climate change. This decision isolates the United States, just as our allies and our citizens most need to come together to design new technologies and new ways to manage the ecological health of our extraordinary home, Earth.
Fortunately, the president's action will not undo the momentum coming from businesses, investors, governments and citizens all around the world to address climate change. The Paris Agreement remains a pillar of international cooperation, backed by nearly every nation on Earth. Already, China and the European Union are asserting renewed leadership to lead the world forward on climate. The agreement also remains a guiding light for millions of Americans, our business community and states for addressing this shared challenge. Governments that work to address the factors of climate change will benefit from cleaner energy, healthier populations and stronger economies.
As we forge ahead, Conservation International's climate commitment — built upon a strong foundation of science and field demonstration — is to encourage and to engage with partners around the globe to reduce the threat of climate change by protecting the forests and ecosystems that can provide at least 30 percent of the solution needed to avoid the worst effects of climate change."
