John --

In my very first inaugural address, I committed us to the
task of protecting this planet for future generations by
making climate change a priority. Over the past seven years,
we've transformed the United States into a global leader in
this fight.

We're leading by example, with historic investments in clean
energy, and the first-ever nationwide standards to limit
carbon pollution from power plants. From Alaska to the Gulf
Coast to the Great Plains, we've partnered with local
leaders who are working to help their communities protect
themselves from the impacts they're already seeing.

But no nation can solve this challenge alone -- we have to
solve it together. On Saturday, thanks to American
leadership, we succeeded in securing an ambitious, enduring
agreement that reduces worldwide carbon pollution. This
agreement gets commitments from nations both big and small,
providing assurances to even developing nations that they
will get the support they need in achieving their
individual goals.

It's a big step forward in building the global momentum we
need to tackle this problem, and OFA is one of the groups
committed to keeping it going. Add your name, and say you
support strong action on climate change:

The Paris agreement establishes the framework that the world
needs to solve the climate crisis, creating a mechanism for
us to continually tackle this problem in an effective way.
Moreover, this agreement sends a powerful signal that the
world is firmly committed to a low-carbon future.

No agreement is perfect. Even if all of the initial targets
are met, we'll still need to reduce carbon from the
atmosphere -- so we cannot afford to be complacent.

But I believe this moment is a turning point for the world.
We've shown that we have both the will and the ability to
take on this challenge. It won't be easy, progress never is,
but we have to keep up the fight.

You can join OFA in the fight right now, and say you're
committed to big steps forward on fighting climate change:

Thanks,

Barack Obama
