Cities and States Representing 60% of U.S. Economy Commit to Collaborate with the UN on Tracking Carbon Emissions

On Thursday, leaders from cities and states representing over 60% of the U.S. economy pledged to work with United Nations officials to track greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. in response to policies from the Trump administration. Governors and mayors, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, announced this commitment during the 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference in Antalya, Turkey. This move aims to demonstrate that despite the Trump administration's rollback of emission regulations and withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, states and cities across the U.S. are still advancing decarbonization efforts. UN Secretary-General António Guterres welcomed the climate actions taken by U.S. local governments, noting that the U.S. does not equal the U.S. government, and that the private sector is increasingly investing in renewable energy, with more governors and mayors dedicated to this cause. He expressed hope that the U.S. as a whole can once again become a significant player in climate action.
