FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

STATEMENT BY HOWARD A. LEARNER

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ENVIRONMENTAL LAW & POLICY CENTER

“Withdrawing our nation from cooperating with global allies on climate solutions will not make America great again. Instead, President Trump is weakening America’s world leadership on climate solutions.

“Dropping America from the Paris climate agreement ignores the reality that clean energy and technological innovation are driving electricity market changes and economic growth. Clean transportation will move forward. Across the U.S., states and cities, businesses and not-for-profit organizations are leading now on climate change solutions.”
