Mayor Bowser to Sign Executive Order Binding the District to the Paris Climate Accord

 

 

On Monday, June 5, at 11:00AM, Mayor Muriel Bowser will sign a Mayor’s Order to reaffirm Washington, DC’s support of the Paris Climate Accord. The Mayor’s Order will renew the District's commitment to the historic agreement to reduce global carbon emissions.

 

A member of the C40 Cities – a network of the world’s largest cities to address climate change, the Bowser Administration pledged to cut carbon emissions by 80 percent by 2050. Over the past two years, the Administration launched Climate Ready DC for a more sustainable environment; proposed the DC Green Bank that will help create jobs, expand solar power, lower energy costs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions; finalized the largest wind power purchase agreement deal in the United States; and began work on the largest onsite municipal solar generation in the country.
