Syria plans to join the 2015 Paris agreement for slowing global warming, isolating the United States as the only country opposed to the pact, delegates said on Tuesday at U.N. climate negotiations in Germany. "We want the United States in too. We take no pleasure in the United States being out." 'Syria's decision shows the breadth of support for the Paris agreement.' Climate Change Secretariat which is organising the meeting, said that Syria had not yet formally submitted any documents about its plan.
