North America Climate and Energy Pact a "Turning Point" for Low Carbon Future - EDF President Fred Krupp
Statement from EDF President Fred Krupp on NA energy pact
“We applaud the leaders of the U.S., Canada and Mexico for taking real climate action. Reducing oil and gas methane pollution by 40-45% is an immediate opportunity to curb warming and we are glad to see Mexico now joining the U.S. and Canada, in making this a national goal. And the joint commitment to obtain 50% of North American energy from zero-carbon energy resources to be announced on Wednesday is a turning point for the climate that will catalyze further global action.”
“It is heartening to see leaders and countries coming together to find common solutions to shared environmental challenges, and realizing the economic opportunities that partnerships can provide.”
