STRONGER INTERNATIONAL CLIMATE AGREEMENTS
The climate crisis doesn’t stop at borders — and neither should our solutions.
America can’t lead the world if we sit on the sidelines while other nations write the rules. We must return to global leadership — forging fair, ambitious, and enforceable agreements that unite the world around survival, innovation, and justice.
THE PROBLEM
Global climate goals are falling short, with emissions continuing to rise despite decades of warnings.
The U.S. has lost credibility by entering and exiting agreements like the Paris Accord based on shifting politics.
Many developing nations want to cut emissions but lack funding and technology to make it possible.
Fossil fuel–rich countries and corporations continue to block progress through lobbying and disinformation.
Without American leadership, autocracies and polluters fill the vacuum — setting weaker standards and undermining progress.
The planet can’t wait for partisan politics — and neither can the rest of the world.
OUR PLAN - LEAD THE WORLD TOGETHER
We’ll restore America’s climate leadership by building global coalitions grounded in fairness and accountability:
Rejoin and Reinforce the Paris Agreement — Commit to deeper, binding emissions cuts and transparent reporting.
Create a Global Clean Tech Alliance — Pool R&D, patents, and manufacturing between democratic nations to speed clean energy deployment.
Fair Climate Financing — Increase U.S. investment in international green funds to help developing nations adopt renewable energy and adapt to changing conditions.
Trade for the Planet — Use trade agreements to reward low-emission manufacturing and penalize pollution-heavy imports.
Global Carbon Standards — Work toward unified accounting of carbon intensity across industries and nations.
Human Rights & Environment Link — Tie environmental cooperation to democratic governance, worker protections, and anti-corruption measures.
Climate Diplomacy Corps — Train and deploy experts to assist allied countries in implementing climate mitigation, adaptation, and disaster management strategies.
WHY IT MATTERS
Leadership means showing up — not walking away when it’s inconvenient.
When America leads with science, fairness, and innovation, the rest of the world follows. Cooperation isn’t charity — it’s the only way humanity wins.
