Here at Ben & Jerry’s, taking action on global climate change has been on our agenda for a long, long time. This year, with the upcoming UN Climate Change Conference in Paris happening this December, it’s priority one. As we put pressure on governments worldwide to pass legally-binding climate action initiatives, we are proud to join a robust group of global food companies in urging policy action on climate change.
After meeting with a bipartisan, bicameral group of U.S. representatives and the French Ambassador for a first-ever discussion on climate change action this week, we are releasing the following letter, signed by our respective Chief Executive Officers, to national and international leaders:
With a landmark climate action agreement in place including commitments from 196 countries to fight climate change, now is the time to keep the pressure on and ensure swift action. This climate agreement wouldn’t have happened without millions of people around the world taking action. And we won’t be able to meet the ambitious goals of the Paris Agreement without millions and millions more people taking action in support of a rapid transition to clean energy. Paris was just the beginning, not the end. Let’s get to work towards a greener, cleaner future. Add your voice to the millions demanding action and sign the petition today!
