183 colleges and universities say “We Are Still In’ on Paris Climate Agreement

183+ colleges and universities along with more than 1,000 governors, mayors, businesses and investors have assembled in pursuit of climate action to declare their intent to continue to ensure the U.S. remains a global leader in reducing carbon emissions through the We Are Still In movement.

Together, these leaders are sending a strong signal to the international community and the 194 other parties to the Paris Agreement about the continued commitment of the U.S. to ambitious action on climate change absent leadership at the federal level. In the aggregate, the signatories are delivering concrete emissions reductions that will help meet America’s emissions pledge under the Paris Agreement.
