President Anthony Collins reaffirmed his commitment to climate action by again signing the We are Still In pledge. The initial 2017 pledge statement was signed by over 3,900 business, universities and municipalities in response to the news that the US would not abide by its commitment to the climate mitigation measures established in the Paris Climate Treaty. Our country’s departure from that treaty became official on November 4, 12020. The new pledge comes at the five-year anniversary of the Paris treaty and after a year of extreme storms, drought and wildfires – all evidence of the consequences of climate changes.
Clarkson’s signatory on this pledge indicates that we continue to work actively to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions to NET ZERO by 2025 and support efforts to make our communities resilient into the future.
