First Anniversary of Paris Agreement Adoption

A statement by Paula Caballero of the World Resources Institute marking the first anniversary of the Paris Agreement, highlighting the global momentum for climate action and urging the United States to remain committed to the pact.

• The Paris Agreement, adopted by nearly 200 countries, created a shared framework for reducing global greenhouse gas emissions and increasing resilience to climate impacts, serving as a turning point for global development and safety.
• Since the adoption of the agreement, there has been increased support for climate action from cities, investors, and companies, with nearly 50 countries committing to a 100% renewable energy future to leverage economic opportunities.
• The United States faces economic and political risks if it withdraws from the Paris Agreement, noting that seven in ten Americans—including majorities of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents—support U.S. participation.
