STATEMENT Mayor Pugh's Statement on the United States' Withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord |
|

"Baltimore is committed to taking action in our Nation's collective efforts to reduce its environmental impact. As a city we have taken significant measures to address climate change, including the adoption of a Climate Action Plan and Disaster Preparedness Plan both of which relate directly to lowering impacts to climate change and preparing government, residents and businesses to adapt and become resilient to its impact. Our diverse natural ecosystems, including the Chesapeake Bay, are in serious jeopardy, yet remain the lifeblood of our region and the viability of our communities. My endorsement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including goal thirteen which specifically addresses climate action related to greenhouse gas reduction, recognizes the complexity of these challenges. As a city we cannot ignore the urgency of these issues."
