President Trump recently made the decision to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Agreement on climate change.
In 2016, the Paris Agreement marked a turning point in the battle against climate change. World leaders from across the globe united for the first time in history to legally ratify action against pollution through the United Nations Framework Convention. According to a recent poll from the Associated Press and the University of Chicago’s NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, it was found that 46% of Americans either strongly or somewhat oppose the U.S. withdrawing from the agreement.
OPG stands in support the Paris Climate Accord and encourages you to show your support by adding your voice in moving towards a 100% clean energy economy. Together, we can make the world better!
