Delaware Joins State Climate Change Coalition

Filed in National by on June 5, 2017

Delaware has joined a coalition of states and cities promising to tackle global climate change despite President Donald Trump’s decision to pull the United States out of an international agreement to limit the scale of global warming.

“The U.S. should lead in the global fight against climate change,” Carney said in a statement announcing the move. “Delaware is proud to join this coalition of states providing that necessary leadership.”

Delaware was one of nine new states to join the United Climate Alliance on Monday, along with Puerto Rico, bringing total membership to 20. The Alliance aims to reduce emissions by 26-28 percent from 2005 levels and meet or exceed the targets of the federal Clean Power Plan.
