The Mayors of Pittsburgh and Paris: We Have Our Own Climate Deal -
By ANNE HIDALGO and WILLIAM PEDUTOJUNE 7, 2017
Last week, President Donald Trump tried to pit our two cities against each other when he announced, in pulling out of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, “I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris.” As the mayors of Pittsburgh
and Paris, we’re here to say that we’re more united than ever.
Investments in smart infrastructure, bike sharing programs, new mass transit options
and building efficiency means Pittsburgh is on track to meet our goal of slashing greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent by 2023.
That means putting aside parochial politics and embracing the global challenge of fighting climate change.
