US Paris Agreement 2020

The We Mean Business Coalition welcomes the United States' intention to rejoin the Paris Agreement, arguing that the framework provides the necessary clarity for businesses to make long-term investments in a zero-carbon economy. The coalition emphasizes that green recovery plans following the COVID-19 pandemic can outperform traditional stimulus measures in boosting GDP and employment while addressing the intersection of climate and racial justice.

• The Paris Agreement framework is viewed by business as a critical tool for averting catastrophic climate change by providing a shared goal and a structure for collective action, which gives companies the confidence to make long-term investments in emission reductions and innovation.
• Green recovery plans in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are modeled to be more effective at boosting income, employment, and GDP than standard return-to-normal stimulus measures, while also reducing emissions below 2020 levels.
• The We Mean Business coalition includes nearly 1,400 influential global companies, including over 230 headquartered in the United States, with a combined market capitalization nearly equal to one-quarter of global GDP.
