McEachin Statement on Third Anniversary of Paris Agreement Adoption

WASHINGTON — Congressman A. Donald McEachin (VA-04) issued this statement observing the third anniversary of the Paris Agreement adoption during the annual United Nations Climate Change Conference:

“The Paris Agreement is a monumental step toward globally addressing and mitigating the impact of climate change. This partnership was designed to keep our world livable and healthy. Our withdrawal will endanger everyone who shares this one planet. The Trump Administration’s refusal to respond to our environmental crisis jeopardizes the world as we know it from infrastructure to our economy, to public health.

“Climate change is truly one of the most important issues we face, and we must do all we can to ensure that our children and children’s children have clean water, land, and air. The Paris Agreement is a crucial first step. Inaction on this issue is not an option.”
