At @mercycorps we will continue to support communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis & work w/our partners to accelerate efforts to scale up climate finance & help build a climate-resilient future for all. My statement: https://t.co/wzVDjLKDEX

[Tjada D'Oyen McKenna @Tjada]

The US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement is a devastating blow to climate action, weakening global commitments to reduce emissions & support climate-vulnerable communities. A huge step backward when we urgently need greater ambition to address the climate crisis, not retreat.
