Dec. 11 (UPI) -- French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday awarded grants to 18 scientists -- 13 from the United States -- for a climate change research project he launched in reaction to the United States withdrawing from the Paris Agreement.
Macron announced the recipients of the Make Our Planet Great Again grants the day before the start of the One Planet Summit in Paris. The grants are for $1.15 million to $1.77 million and require the recipients to move to France for at least three years to conduct research.
