After the Trump administration announced it will withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement, Earthjustice President Abigail Dillen issued the following statement:
“Whether President Trump likes it or not, he is a climate president, leading during a time when our planet is warming at record speed from burning fossil fuels and extreme weather events are causing deaths, destruction, and bankrupting our communities. Backtracking on climate leadership will not stop Earthjustice from fighting for the clean energy future we need, even if this administration won’t.”
