Letter to RGGI Governors After U.S. Exits Paris Climate Agreement

The Trump Administration’s detrimental decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement requires states and regions to assume leadership addressing the threats of climate change to the health, well-being, and economic prosperity of their citizens. In Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states, this must include strengthening the effective RGGI program. This letter, signed by 51 environmental organizations, health professionals, clean energy businesses and environmental justice groups, applauds the leadership that the RGGI states have shown to date and urges them to continue that role by considering more ambitious policy options.
