Session Description:
AGU is facilitating a special plenary around the wearestillin.com movement, a response to a U.S. governmental decision to depart from the Paris Climate Accord. In a panel titled “Why We Are Still In”, chaired by Dr. Don Boesch, panelists from city governments and corporations will consider how organizations are maintaining their commitment to the objectives of the accord and what might be holding organizations back from signing on to the wearestillin.com initiatives. Panelists will also discuss perspectives on the challenges and opportunities this movement presents with respect to meaningful emissions reductions and symbolic showings of unity to make up for the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord by the US federal government.
