The U.S. government may be in the process of formally withdrawing from the term of the Paris Agreement, an international accord on targets to fight climate change, but major U.S. employers say they\u2019ll stay the course in a new statement jointly signed by a group of around 80 chief executives and U.S. labor organization leaders. The statement, posted at UnitedForTheParisAgreement.com<\/a>, represents a group that either directly employs more than 2 million people in the U.S., or represents a larger group of 12.5 million through labor organizations.<\/p>\n

The group collectively says they are \u201cstill in\u201d on the Agreement, which many of the undersigned also supported vocally back in 2017 when the Trump administration announced its intent to formally remove itself. They also \u201curge the United States\u201d to reconsider its current course and also agree to remain committed to the agreement. The Agreement will not only help to potentially counter the ongoing impacts of global climate change, the group says in the letter, but also prepare the way for a \u201cjust transition\u201d of the U.S. workforce to \u201cnew decent, family supporting jobs and economic opportunity,\u201d implying that bowing out of the Agreement will actually impede the U.S. workforce\u2019s ability to compete on a global scale.<\/p>\n

Apple <\/a> CEO Tim Cook shared the renewed commitment on Twitter, noting in part that \u201chumanity has never faced a greater or more urgent threat than climate change,\u201d and other prominent tech executives have also co-signed, including Microsoft\u2019s Satya Nadella, <\/a> Tesla\u2019s <\/a> Elon Musk, <\/a> Google\u2019s Sundar Pichai and Adobe\u2019s Shantanu Narayen. Chief executives from other powerful U.S. companies across industries are also represented, including Coca-Cola\u2019s James Quincey, Patagonia\u2019s <\/a> Rose Marcario, Unilever\u2019s Alan Jope and Walt Disney\u2019s Robert Iger.<\/p>\n
