Statement from Mike Bloomberg on U.S. and China Ratification of the Paris Agreement

Sep 15, 2016 9:35 AM ET

By ratifying the Paris climate agreement, the U.S. and China are demonstrating that the world's two largest economies will help lead the fight against climate change - but it's imperative that more nations join them. Cities are united in this effort, but to succeed, nations must be too - and I urge local leaders to continue pushing their national governments to ratify the Paris agreement in the months ahead.

U.N. Secretary-General's Special Envoy for Cities and Climate Change and President of the Board of the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group.
