  • Statements on Trump's Rollback of the Clean Power Plan & Other Clean
    Statements on Trump’s Rollback of the Clean Power Plan & Other Clean Air Protections On March 28, 2017, President Trump signed an executive order that directs the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to weaken a range of important public heath protections, including steps to revoke the Clean Power Plan, America’s first-ever nationwide standards to reduce dangerous carbon pollution from power plants. Immediately after the President signed the executive order, an extraordinarily broad and diverse group of states, power companies, businesses, health and environmental groups, scientists, and both U.S. and international thought leaders publically spoke out — some against President Trump’s attack on these vital public health safeguards, others to reiterate their continued commitment to clean energy, reducing carbon, or addressing climate change. * * * States and Cities Joint Statement of California Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo: "Dismantling the Clean Power Plan and other critical climate programs is profoundly misguided and shockingly ignores basic science. With this move, the Administration will endanger public health, our environment and our economic prosperity. “Climate change is real and will not be wished away by rhetoric or denial. We stand together with a majority of the American people in supporting bold actions to protect our communities from the dire consequences of climate change.” Joint statement with governors of California, Oregon, & Washington, and mayors of Los Angeles (CA), Oakland (CA), Portland (OR), San Francisco (CA), & Seattle (WA): “As the governors of Washington, Oregon and California and the mayors of Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Oakland and Los Angeles, we speak today in support of the Clean Power Plan.

    THE OVERLOOKED PART OF THE CLIMATE SOLUTION. THE FOREST, FOOD AND LAND CHALLENGE TEAM We’re calling on businesses, states, city and local governments, and global citizens to take action for better forest and habitat conservation, food production and consumption, and land use, working together across all sectors of the economy to deliver up to 30% of the climate solutions needed by 2030. Farmers and ranchers, businesses, states, cities and local governments, indigenous leaders, scientists, financial institutions, artists, religious groups, NGOs and global citizens all have a critical role to play in reducing forest, food and land-based emissions to help tackle climate change. Ahead of September’s Global Climate Action Summit the land sector is coming together to define and commit to deliver on this challenge. At the Summit we will share and celebrate what has been achieved to date and create more ambitious worldwide commitments and coalitions to accelerate action and help national governments deliver on their climate goals. We need to unite a sector. We need to define the science. We need to drive investment. We need to deliver ambitious and innovative solutions. We need everyone’s help.

  • Under2 Coalition Governance
    Under2 Coalition Governance Terms of Reference | January 2021 Background 1.1 The Under2 MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) is a commitment by sub-national governments to long-term deep decarbonisation and maintaining the average global temperature increase to under 2˚C by 2050. Central to this is the public commitment by all signatories to reduce their GHG emissions to under 2 metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent per capita, by 2050. 1.2 The Under2 Coalition is a group of jurisdictions who have signed the Under2 MOU and seek to collaborate with global peers to achieve its goals. 1.3 The Under2 Coalition is an initiative primarily driven by state, regional and provincial governments. However, jurisdictions at all levels of government are encouraged to sign or endorse the Under2 MOU, thus committing to deep decarbonization in their jurisdictions. 1.4 The Under2 Coalition sets the tone for bold climate leadership and provides an effective global partnership model for parties to the UNFCCC. Under2 sends a clear signal that net-zero by 2050 is achievable, desirable and leads to greater prosperity for all. 1.5 To achieve the goals of the Under2 MOU, the Under2 Coalition will be governed by Co-Chairs and a Steering Group, elected biennially with the support from The Climate Group as the Secretariat. Co-chairs 2.1 The role of the Co-Chairs is to serve as the high-level regional figureheads of the Under2 Coalition, representing the state and regional signatories and promoting its collective vision and goals. Together with the Steering Group, they guide the strategic direction of the Under2 Coalition.
