greenhouse emission mitigation, adaptation and financing, starting in the
year 2020; and
WHEREAS, the language of the Accord was negotiated by representatives
of 196 parties at the 21st conference of the parties at the UNFCCC in Paris
and adopted by consensus on the 12th of December 2016; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the Accord is to hold the increase of the global
average temperature to well below 2 degrees above pre-industrial levels and
to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius
above pre-industrial levels, recognizing that this would significantly reduce
the risk and impact of'climate change; and
WHEREAS, this effort will increase the ability to adapt to the adverse impact
of climate change and foster climate resilience and lower greenhouse gas
emissions in a manner that does not threaten food production; and
WHEREAS, climate change represents an urgent and potentially irreversible
threat to human societies and the planet and thus requires the widest
possible cooperation by all communities, and their participation in an
effective and appropriate response, with a view to accelerating the reduction
of global greenhouse gas emissions; and
WHEREAS, the Paris Climate Accord is considered the world's first
comprehensive climate agreement; and E. (Continued)
WHEREAS, after the President's withdrawal of the United States from the
Paris Climate Accord, the United States joined two other countries,
Nicaragua and Syria, as the only countries that refused to sign the Paris
Climate Accord; and
WHEREAS, towns and cities across the United States have united to adopt
the Paris Climate Accord because of the urgency of its mission; and
WHEREAS, these communities have also announced that they would not
enforce a Presidential executive order that rolled back the previous policy to
regulate energy production and reduce emissions; and
WHEREAS, the Town of South Windsor has been at the forefront of using
renewable energy and making efforts to reduce greenhouse gases; and
WHEREAS, in South Windsor a permanent Energy Committee was created
by the Town Council in May 2015; and

participating in the Clean Energy Community Program in Connecticut; and
WHEREAS, the Town showed commitment to reduce the energy use by
20% and also to have 20% of energy come from the renewable sources; and
WHEREAS, these efforts have not only reduced the energy cost of the Town

increased greenhouse gases
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the South Windsor Town
Council reaffirms that it will continue to lead and increase investments in
