Climate Protection and Restoration Initiative: Sign the Remain-In Petition to Congress - The U.S. Must Not Exit the U.N. Climate Treaty

We call on Congress to resist the Trump’s attempted unilateral withdrawal from the United Nations climate change treaty. The Constitution assigns to the President the singular duty to “take care that the laws are faithfully executed.” It provides, as well, that constitutional provisions, federal statutes, and Senate-approved treaties comprise the Supreme Law of the Land. Accordingly, the President should not unilaterally withdraw the nation from the Senate-approved United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). His recent (Feb. 27) attempt to do just that must be challenged. Because withdrawal is not effective until 12 months have passed, we still have time to reverse direction. Virtually every nation on the planet is a Party to the UNFCCC and, to date, no nation, once a party, has ever withdrawn from it. Act HERE.
