Dear John,
Today, we congratulate President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on their historic inauguration.
We also welcomed their swift executive actions to tackle the climate crisis including reentering the U.S. into the global Paris Agreement, placing a moratorium on drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, revising fuel economy and emission standards and methane emission standards, and revoking the permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline. |
Ceres CEO and President Mindy Lubber said: |
“We applaud President Biden and Vice President Harris for hitting the ground running and demonstrating bold executive leadership on the first day of office. With so much at stake, their in-depth understanding of the interwoven crises of the COVID-19 pandemic, racial injustice, economic insecurity and a warming world give me hope and optimism. It truly is a new day for our democracy, our health, our economy and our planet, and U.S. efforts to address the compounding crises we face as a country.
President Biden and Vice President Harris have promised time and again that their approach to the climate crisis will be based on science and facts and centered on environmental justice. Today, they’ve shown they are already following through on their promises with executive actions to rejoin the Paris Agreement and reinstate some of the most devastating environmental rollbacks of the last four years. These actions are critical to restore U.S. climate leadership in the world and ensure we do our part to build a net-zero economy and safeguard our planet." |

She will be featured alongside other prominent leaders, celebrities and clean energy advocates including singer Billie Eilish, global climate leader Christiana Figueres, newly elected U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock and many others.
