During the Conference of Parties 22 meeting in Marrakech devoted to putting meat on the Paris Agreement for implementation, several hundred business and investor communities sent a letter to President-elect Trump, President Obama, and Members of US Congress. They urged continued support of the Paris Agreement. Among the signers was the Unitarian Universalist Association.
The letter reads, in part:
We want the US economy to be energy efficient and powered by low-carbon energy. Cost-effective and innovative solutions can help us achieve these objectives. Failure to build a low-carbon economy puts American prosperity at risk. But the right action now will create jobs and boost US competitiveness. We pledge to do our part, in our own operations and beyond, to realize the Paris Agreement’s commitment of a global economy that limits global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees Celsius.
