North Carolina Reacts to Trump’s Paris Climate Change Move
Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions
The day after President Donald Trump announced he was withdrawing the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement, Nicholas Institute director Tim Profeta told Triangle Business Journal that states have to take the lead in attracting investments in clean technologies. “If anything, the federal government’s evident withdrawal from climate leadership will push the states into more of a leadership role,” Profeta said. He also said North Carolina’s diverse economy gives it an opportunity for bipartisan solutions to climate change.
