Explanation:

In December 2015, 195 countries, including the United States, vowed to address climate change in agreements reached in Paris.

 

More than eighty-six (86) mayors representing more than 40 million Americans have recently re-affirmed their cities’ commitment to climate action.

 

The City of Hollywood re-affirms its commitment to taking action to reduce climate pollution in alignment with the goals laid out in the City’s Sustainability Action Plan.  The City continues to support the principles of the Paris Agreement and will continue to stand with cities and other public and private sector partners throughout the world to advance action in accordance with the goals outlined in the Paris Agreement.
