**Sue Reid, vice president of climate and energy at Ceres, released this statement following the closing of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Madrid (COP25) on Sunday.**

> Inside and outside the halls of COP25, investors, companies and leaders from a cross-section of society sent a clarion call to global governments: Close the ambition gap and step up climate action. Unfortunately, the results of the just-concluded negotiations do no such thing, coming nowhere close to the speed and scale the Paris Agreement demands.
> 
> Investors, companies, cities and states in the U.S. and beyond are stepping up to slash greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and aiming for net-zero emissions before 2050. National governments must do the same, both at home and through shared implementation of the Paris Agreement.
> 
> History will judge harshly the failure of global governments to take action at the pace and scale required, particularly the federal government of the United States -- the country that has produced more climate change-causing pollution than any other.
