Centocinquanta sindaci USA manterranno Parigi, con o senza Trump - Maria Rita D'Orsogna

Sono queste cose che fanno questa nazione grande. Non ci si arrende, e si continua a fare le cose giuste, senza paura.

Il giorno primo giugno, appena Trump ha annunciato il suo nefasto progetto di uscire da Parigi, 68 sindaci hanno promesso di restarci dentro. Sono repubblicani e sono democratici. 

Fanno parte dei sessantotto i sindaci di New York, Chicago, Seattle, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami. Ma anche Houston, Palm Beach, Little Rock, citta' in stati tradizionalmente repubblicani, e a volte anche culla del petrolio.

La lista si allunga.

Eccoli tutti. A loro grazie.

As 68 Mayors representing 38 million Americans, we will adopt, honor, and uphold the commitments to the goals enshrined in the Paris Agreement. 

We will intensify efforts to meet each of our cities’ current climate goals, push for new action to meet the 1.5 degrees Celsius target, and work together to create a 21st century clean energy economy.

We will continue to lead. 

We are increasing investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency. 

We will buy and create more demand for electric cars and trucks. 

We will increase our efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions, create a clean energy economy, and stand for environmental justice. 

And if the President wants to break the promises made to our allies enshrined in the historic Paris Agreement, we’ll build and strengthen relationships around the world to protect the planet from devastating climate risks.

The world cannot wait — and neither will we.
