    Working Together To Address Climate Change

    The 42nd commemoration of Earth Day on April 22 provides an opportunity to celebrate the environment as well as assess the work needed to protect the natural gifts of the planet that we share. Climate change remains one of the greatest environmental threats facing us today. While I am proud to say that the United States is taking action to meet this challenge, the truth is that no one nation can solve this crisis on its own. Climate change is a global concern that demands a global solution.
