Kelly Wanser, Executive Director of SilverLining, released the following statement on the United States rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement:

"SilverLining applauds the Biden-Harris administration's decision to rapidly rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement and recommit to fighting back against climate change. Overcoming the climate crisis is a difficult task, but today's decision is a strong first step toward the international cooperation necessary to slow our planet's warming. SilverLining urges President Biden and his administration to invest in the nation’s climate observation and research capabilities and in research into all potential options, including climate interventions, to ensure a safe climate."
