President Cevallos Joins Leaders Across the United States in Affirming Commitment to Global Climate Action on the 5th Anniversary of the Paris Agreement
December 12th marks the five-year anniversary of the world coming together to sign on to the Paris Agreement and Framingham State University is marking the moment by committing to a national mobilization for a clean energy economy and centering their own operations in pursuit of climate action. In doing so, FSU] joins over 1,000 leaders from local governments, businesses, universities, and other institutions across the country as part of the “America Is All In” joint statement.
This joint statement will be delivered to the incoming Biden-Harris administration, as well as to United Nations officials and global heads of state at the Climate Ambition Summit hosted by the United Kingdom, also on December 12th.
“As we look to recover from the dual public health and economic crises brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, we also look to the looming threat of the climate crisis,” said Framingham State President F. Javier Cevallos. “The FSU community cares deeply about this issue. Through the work of our Center for Climate Change Education, we intend to be a thought leader in the efforts to combat the threats posed by climate change.”
The “America Is All In” declaration is organized by We Are Still In, a coalition in support for climate action and a pledge to uphold the United States commitments to reduce emissions under the Paris Agreement. With more than 3,900 organizations and institutions across all sectors of the United States, these leaders represent over half of the national population, nearly two-thirds of the economy, and more than half of the country’s emissions. While the United States officially exited the Paris Agreement on November 4th, the incoming Biden-Harris administration has committed to reentering the unprecedented global agreement.
“December 12th is more than an anniversary of an agreement, it represents a critical turning point for the future of U.S. and global climate action,” said Elan Strait, Director of US Climate Campaigns at World Wildlife Fund (WWF). “Nationally, we have stumbled in our leadership on climate action. But We Are Still In shows that there was a commitment to change in the United States that never faltered. Today's statement from Framingham State University and hundreds like them across the country sends a clear message that, moving forward, we need a unified national response to the climate crisis.”
