RIO - In a provocative adaptation of Donald Trump's campaign slogan, French President Emmanuel Macron launched on Thursday the website www.makeourplanetgreatagain.fr ("Make Our Planet Big Again"). The portal is intended for researchers, entrepreneurs and members of civil society, who can use the platform to continue efforts to combat climate change.
Macron has led a resistance movement to the United States exit from the Paris Accord, announced by Trump last week. After the decision of the American president, the Frenchman even said that Trump made a historic mistake in abandoning the treaty.
"The planet needs its innovative abilities, so you're in to change (literally!) Our everyday life and make our planet big again?", Asks the site, which opens a video that Macron made last week in English , In response to Trump's withdrawal from the Paris agreement.
Users are invited to inform themselves if they are researchers, business owners, teachers, students or others, and what their home country is, and they can fill in their personal details with a promise that they will be contacted within three days.
"You are the new actors in this fight. Your commitment can inspire many others," the website says.
World leaders reacted indignantly to Trump's announcement that the United States, the world's second-largest carbon producer, was leaving the deal negotiated in 2015 in the French capital. Led by Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, they considered Trump's decision wrong and pledged to uphold an agreement they said was crucial for the future of the planet.

China, the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases, has vowed to keep the pact, while European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker said there could be no "retreat."
A series of bilateral and multilateral commitments, involving not only governments, but companies and universities, have been firm since the Republican's decision.
