We Mean Business Coalition statement on US withdrawal from the UNFCCC and IPCC

The We Mean Business Coalition warns that the US withdrawal from the UNFCCC and IPCC risks weakening the shared frameworks and trusted science necessary for global climate action. The coalition emphasizes that businesses require alignment across geographies to manage complex value chains and make long-term investment decisions, noting that fragmentation increases costs and inefficiency. Despite this, the coalition remains committed to working with its network of over 20,000 companies, including 2,000 in the US, to advance the clean energy transition through global collaboration.

• The US withdrawal from the UNFCCC and IPCC threatens the common rules, scientific trust, and coordination mechanisms that governments, investors, and businesses use to plan and act with confidence.
• International policy alignment is critical for businesses with complex global value chains; a fragmentation of these standards increases costs, uncertainty, and inefficiency for the real economy.
• The We Mean Business Coalition continues to support the clean energy transition through its network of more than 20,000 companies globally, which includes 2,000 companies based in the United States.
