U.S. State Department
Washington, DC 20520
Dear Mr. Kerry,
Thank you for your urgency to address the climate crisis, and by re-joining the Paris Climate Agreement.
We are representatives of the $72 billion winter outdoor sports industry that supports 900,000 jobs nationally. Our industry is on the front lines of climate change, entirely dependent on a stable climate for the future of our industry and the vibrancy of the communities in which we live and work.
Our businesses operate on a global scale, and we understand the importance of international cooperation to achieve great things. The United States’ re-entry into the Paris Climate Agreement is a signal to the world that once again, we are taking this issue seriously and recognizing the critical importance of working with our international partners to find a common solution.
Thank you again for your commitment to addressing climate change and re-committing the United States to the Paris Climate Agreement.
Sincerely,
