Today, a number of countries announced at #COP29 that their coming 2035 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) will set ambitious climate targets that put them on a trajectory to net zero by 2050. U.S. subnational climate leaders remain committed to doing their part to reduce U.S. emissions and take ambitious and positive #ClimateAction. In a statement to COP29 leaders, #AmericaIsAllIn Co-Chairs State of Washington Governor Jay Inslee, Apple’s Lisa Jackson, and Gina McCarthy said: “We will do our part. We stand with you, and encourage you – the heads of the world’s largest countries - to show leadership in setting ambitious, 1.5℃-aligned, economy-wide 2035 targets that are at least on a straight line to your respective net zero goals.” Read the full statement ?? https://lnkd.in/g4C6G5eN

??#COP29 RECAP: Day 3 at the #AmericaIsAllIn Action Center! “Our job - and your job, your job as well - is to have your voices be heard. To be working with your partners in the United States. People get discouraged, people can sometimes feel that they gave it all they had as a sprint, and not accept the fact that this is a marathon.” – Senator Edward Markey, Massachusetts On our Action Center's last day of programming, we hosted seven events showcasing the importance of subnational voices on the global stage. As we continue to pave a path towards ambitious #ClimateAction, the voices of businesses, higher education institutions, and subnational climate champions across all sectors of society and around the world are pivotal now more than ever.
