Dyer takes key climate step
July 25, 2021
Wow. Is it OK to start a letter that way? I hope so because I am personally “wowed’ to discover that Fresno Mayor Jerry Dyer has joined the Climate Mayors Network. This is a bipartisan network of 470 mayors from 48 states who are committing to meaningful action to address climate change in their communities.
By joining this network, our mayor shows he understands we have a great opportunity right now to improve our prospects for quality of life by focusing on sustainable and equitable economic growth and recovery. The Climate Mayors want to reduce greenhouse gases to clean up our air and stabilize our climate. They encourage investing in industry that brings clean, well-paying jobs, access to clean water and clean energy.
I am hopeful that we will eventually get some carbon pricing legislation passed at the federal level to support the goals of the Paris Agreement. But while we wait for Congress to battle it out, I truly appreciate that Mayor Dyer has joined this group of pro-active mayors trying to make tangible improvements to our health and well-being.
