You can then reference the agreement itself to confirm


This link and article matches what I posted above and not your assertion:

That's not entirely true, because the agreement allowed other countries to use OUR court system to sue our government if we didn't meet or "voluntary" obligations.


Regarding the full text of the agreement, I did numerous word searches using typical terms regarding making legal claims and found no matches.

I see nothing in the article or agreement that supports your quoted claim above.

of ccourse it does.

Right from the article

A private party might now sue the government, claiming that the Trump administration’s environmental regulatory changes (including rescinding, changing, or failing to enact rules) violated this U.S. commitment.

Why? Because Article 4.11 of the agreement allows signatories to adjust a nationally determined contribution “with a view to enhancing its level of ambition, in accordance with guidance adopted by the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the parties to this agreement.”

A plaintiff environmental group, for example, might argue that environmental regulatory relief would not “enhance” the Obama administration’s commitment. Rather, the plaintiff might claim that it would undercut that commitment, and therefore violate the Paris Agreement.
