@VerizonNews 4 hours .. you should have a better update by now .. We can handle the truth if you are willing to provide better information. Just tell us what's going on and whether you have an ETA for restoration. WiFi calling not working either.

Two years ago, President @JoeBiden signed the #InflationReductionAct into law, spurring a historic period of climate progress. We must continue pushing toward a clean energy future, which will create greater prosperity and economic security for our nation. https://t.co/LqUqgfetgy

[Christiana Figueres @CFigueres]

10 years on from the Paris Agreement, the political economy is very clear that the future is one of decarbonisation - but we have work to do. Recent analysis shows that existing NDC commitments can comfortably be at least 3x times more ambitious than existing versions.

#Mission2025 is ready to support leaders to lead now.
