Amerikansk skyggedelegation til COP23
The Trump administration is at the climate conference in Bonn to
tout America's coal and natural gas reserves, but a separate
delegation is there to remind diplomats that the US - or parts of
it, at least - remains committed to the Paris Agreement.
Lead by the former mayor of the US's largest city - New York's
Michael Bloomberg - and the current governor of the US's largest
state - California Governor Jerry Brown - this group, called
America's Pledge, claims that the US can still deliver on the
emission-cutting promises made under Obama. Several US Senators and
governors, all Democrats, were at a kick-off event on
Saturday, the cost of which was covered by two billionaires -
Bloomberg and hedge funder Tom Steyer. Bloomberg is also demanding that cities and states that want to
defy the Trump administration on climate action be given their own
seat at the Paris Agreement negotiating table.
