Citi Disappointed by Decision to Withdraw from Paris Agreement

Big props to Citi for taking a leading corporate stance on staying with Paris and expressing their disappointment in the US withdrawal. In only seems fair that the US had a major financial obligation when you consider our consumption and carbon footprint is a major contributor to the environment. Despite Washington's shortsightedness Citi can still take a leading role in promoting clean energy and curbing global warming for the sake of our children. Keep working with states and their governors and avoid the mistakes of those in Washington.

I am proud to be part of Citi that speaks a global language than being centric.

I feel that US could have done more. Paris agreement was the second one, the first one was Kyoto. Kyoto was declared as failed due to US.

The more the pollution is made the more you have to pay in future. If not today it has to be paid with interest. Interest need not be money, but the cost we might need to pay for healthcare and healthy environment.

Let the rest of the world do its part to have a better world.

As of June 2017, 195 UNFCCC members have signed the agreement, 148 of which have ratified it.

I am proud of our position on our environment. The future generations depend on the work we, our companies and our government does today.
