United States Climate Alliance
The United States Climate Alliance comprises a group of states in the United States committed to upholding the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change within their borders. It was formed on June 1, 2017, by three state governors — Washington, New York, and California —after U.S. President Donald Trump announced United States withdrawal from the Paris Agreement.
In addition, by the evening of June 1, 2017, the state governors of seven other U.S. states had agreed to maintain their states' support for the Paris Agreement. Nearly 70 percent of Americans, including a majority of people in all 50 states, support the Paris Agreement on climate change.
On June 2, 2017, the announced Governor of Connecticut announced
that the state would join the United States Climate Alliance
Update: 68 “Climate Mayors” representing 38 million Americans have also committed to upholding the goals of the Paris Agreement. These include the non-CA/NY mayors of Boston, Houston, Chicago, Seattle, Atlanta, and many other large cities. One notable city joining the pact is Pittsburgh – in Mr. Trump’s speech, he noted that he was elected to represent “the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris.” Pittsburgh, however, apparently wishes to remain in the Agreement. Also, the governors of Massachusetts, Oregon, Colorado, Hawaii, Connecticut, Minnesota, Virginia and Rhode Island have all proclaimed continued support for the Agreement.
