An important update: the Trump administration has delayed its decision about the Paris Climate Agreement

An important update: the Trump administration has delayed its decision about the Paris Climate Agreement.

A meeting about the deal that was scheduled for this Tuesday between key administration officials was cancelled, and the President’s Press Secretary said the decision will be made sometime after the G7 meeting at the end of this month.

This shows that the global outcry by other heads of state, business leaders, scientists and regular people like us is working. A phone call from the new president of France supposedly played a key role in delaying the meeting, but the voices of investors, mayors and scientists also appear to be influencing the administration’s decision.

The more pressure we can apply between now and the end of May, the better. Tens of thousands of people across the globe have stepped up to show their support for the Paris Agreement and climate action.

Sharing the petition to keep the pressure on would be a big help -- click here to share on Facebook and here to tweet.
