UPPLANDS VÄSBY , Sweden, Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Envirotainer, the global market leader and by far the largest provider of secure cold chain solutions for air transport of pharmaceuticals, today announced that they are expanding their network of RAP e2 stations by adding Taipei (TPE) to its growing list of network stations. Taipei (TPE) is the 42nd station in the Envirotainer network to carry the flagship RAP e2, an extremely cost efficient and high-performing solution compared to other active and passive alternatives which  provides a strong capacity increase to support the rapidly growing APAC pharmaceutical market, especially in light of the ongoing COVID-19 vaccine distribution.

«We are expanding Envirotainer’s capabilities to support the ongoing COVID-19 vaccine(s) shipments across our network,» explains Suat Toh, Head of Sales APAC at Envirotainer. «We expect that our investment in the Taipei station will spearhead a fast and secure delivery of COVID-19 vaccines which quickly will hit unprecedented shipment volumes and will be absolutely time- and life critical to people all over the world,» she continues.

Recognizing the need for secure temperature-controlled air freight solutions, Envirotainer has been expanding its sales offering in Asia-Pacific over the past years, investing in both service capabilities and an agile network model.

«The entire APAC region is a growing area for all types of temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical cargo. Current predictions estimate that some 8 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines will be distributed globally during 2021,» explains Eddy Cojulun, Chief Sales Officer at Envirotainer. He continues, «Some 5 billion or more of the COVID-19 doses will require a fast and dependable air freight solution to reach populations across the world. I personally don’t want my parents in Guatemala to have to wait any longer than necessary to receive the vaccines, regardless of where in the world they are manufactured.»

Sustainability aspect

The RAP e2 is the most environmentally friendly temperature-controlled air cargo container available in the market. Delivering pharmaceuticals using the Envirotainer RAP e2 emits 0.9kg CO2e per vial shipped. This can be compared to, for example, a smaller passive solution’s 11.6kg CO2e per vial shipped. Adding the quality aspect and reducing the risks of having to discard pharmaceuticals that have been damaged during transport, and produce and deliver replacement products, has a tremendous positive commercial as well as environmental impact using the RAP e2 versus using a passive box solution.

Nel CMD 2021: Launches 1.5 USD/kg target for green renewable hydrogen to outcompete fossil alternatives

OSLO, Norway, Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Nel ASA (Nel, OSE: NEL) today hosts the Nel Capital Markets Day 2021, outlining the target of producing green hydrogen at USD 1.5 per kilo* by 2025, to outcompete fossil alternatives. Cost reductions through scale-up of production to multi-GW scale, growing the organization to add capacities and capabilities, and investing in technology for the near- and long-term are crucial components in ensuring that Nel continues to be…

OSLO, Norway, Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Nel ASA (Nel, OSE: NEL) today hosts the Nel Capital Markets Day 2021, outlining the target of producing green hydrogen at USD 1.5 per kilo* by 2025, to outcompete fossil alternatives. Cost reductions through scale-up of production to multi-GW scale, growing the organization to add capacities and capabilities, and investing in technology for the near- and long-term are crucial components in ensuring that Nel continues to be the global leader in the hydrogen industry.

«Green renewable hydrogen is set to outcompete fossil alternatives, and Nel is placed in the centre of this transition. We’re today launching our target which should enable our customers in certain markets to produce green renewable hydrogen from a large-scale Nel facility at 1.5 USD/kg from low cost renewable power, already within 2025. Achieving this would allow green hydrogen to start to reach fossil parity, representing one of the most significant achievement for zero-emission solutions and a carbon neutral planet,» says Jon André Løkke, Chief Executive Officer of Nel.

Nel’s Capital Markets Day 2021 (CMD) outlines the strategy and ambitions towards 2025, addressing the current hydrogen market of 70 million tons, which, by the Hydrogen Council, is expected to grow by 8-times by 2050, largely based on green hydrogen.

«The hydrogen market is already large, but with only a fraction served by electrolysis, there are significant opportunities to turn the existing market green. In addition, we see a regulatory landslide across the globe, with the EU and the US pledging hundreds of billions of dollars into their zero-emission programs where hydrogen serves a vital part as the energy carrier of choice. The growth will not only come from industrial applications, but also from transforming the current diesel-based heavy-duty transportation to run on zero-emission and cost-efficient green hydrogen. These developments require low-cost electrolysis and ultra-fast fueling, both areas where Nel is the global leader,» Løkke adds.

Taking electrolysis to GW-scale

Nel is expanding the electrolysis production to accommodate large-scale projects by constructing a fully automated manufacturing facility at Herøya, Norway. Test production of the first 500 MW production line will commence in the second quarter of 2021 with start of commercial ramp-up in the third quarter 2021. Based on the secured facility at Herøya, Nel today outlines the potential to expand the production capacity at this facility beyond 2 GW annually.

«Herøya represents the first industrial-scale production of the most efficient electrolysers on the market, at a game-changing low cost. The Nel team is continuously working to drive down the cost of hydrogen, where scale-up is key, and will continue to assess the exact timing for the next expansion step. A 2 GW production capacity of electrolysers would represent a potential of four-to-five million tons of CO2 reductions for our customers, or ten percent of the annual CO2 emissions in Norway,» says Jon André Løkke, and continues:

«Nel uniquely covers both PEM and alkaline technologies, each with their respective advantages, and we will continue give them our full support and equal priority. The technology roadmap highlights our priority on large-scale products, continuous improvements, and lowest total cost of ownership for our customers. The hydrogen industry will become increasingly competitive and Nel therefore needs to continue to invest in organization, technology, and equipment to remain in the forefront of the industry.»

Price and ultra-fast fueling is key to outcompete diesel

Nel has delivered more than 110 hydrogen fueling stations (HRS), H2Stations™, in 13 different countries. The global HRS market is expected to grow by 30 percent annually towards 2030, with 11,000 installed fueling stations, in addition to solutions for fueling of private trailer parks, trains, ferries, etc.

«The only way to transform heavy-duty transportation is to beat diesel at the pump. In addition to green hydrogen reaching fossil parity at production, we have to enable fast fueling of hydrogen in a reliable and cost-efficient manner to be able to beat fossil alternatives. Nel has a technology roadmap enabling fueling in 10-15 minutes of a heavy duty truck to achieve a range of 1,000 km, and we are in a good position to continue to lead the hydrogen fueling industry,» Jon André Løkke says.

Reiterates strong market outlook

Nel reiterates the confidence in the long-term potential for the industry, supported by the «green recovery» outlined by various governmental initiatives. The company aims to capitalize on the opportunities by leveraging on the position as a technology front-runner, continued high focus on safety, global presence, scalability, cost leadership, strong financing, and preferred-partner status for industry participants.

«Large opportunities also represent major challenges for Nel going forward, as maintaining a leadership position requires large investments, rapid expansion of the organization, and execution of large-scale projects across the globe in an increasingly competitive environment. In 2021 alone, we will add more than 100 new colleagues, deploy over 25% of the capital raised in 2020 in plant, equipment, and technology development projects, and add more capacity as required by the market. The Capital Markets Day will unveil how Nel will address these challenges, as an emission-free future depends on green hydrogen,» Løkke concludes.

East Coast Housing Market Continues To Dominate Areas Most Vulnerable To Coronavirus Impact

IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — ATTOM Data Solutions, curator of the nation’s premier property database, today released its fourth-quarter 2020 Special Coronavirus Report spotlighting county-level housing markets around the United States that are more or less…

IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — ATTOM Data Solutions, curator of the nation’s premier property database, today released its fourth-quarter 2020 Special Coronavirus Report spotlighting county-level housing markets around the United States that are more or less vulnerable to the impact of the virus pandemic. The report shows that pockets of the Northeast and other parts of the East Coast remained most at risk in the fourth quarter – with clusters in the New York City and Philadelphia, PA areas – while the West continued to be less vulnerable.

The report reveals that New Jersey, Illinois, California, Louisiana, New York, Florida and Maryland had 40 of the 50 counties most vulnerable to the economic impact of the pandemic in the fourth quarter of 2020. They included eight suburban counties in the New York City metropolitan area, four around Philadelphia, PA, and two near Washington, D.C. Another six sat in the Chicago, IL, suburbs and two were in the St. Louis, MO area.

Five of the seven western counties in the top 50 during the fourth quarter were in northern California, while Illinois had eight of the nine midwestern counties among those most vulnerable. Outside of Florida and Maryland, the only southern state with more than two counties in the top 50 was Louisiana.

Fourth-quarter trends generally continued those found in the third quarter of 2020, but with different concentrations around several major metropolitan areas. The number of counties among the top 50 most at-risk was up from five to eight in the New York, NY, area and from three to six in the Chicago, IL, area, but down from four to two in the Washington, D.C., region and from four to one in the Baltimore, MD area.

Markets are considered more or less at risk based on the percentage of homes facing possible foreclosure, the portion with mortgage balances that exceed the estimated property value and the percentage of average local wages required to pay for major home ownership expenses.

The conclusions are drawn from an analysis of the most recent home affordability, equity and foreclosure reports prepared by ATTOM. Rankings were based on a combination of those three categories in 499 counties around the United States with sufficient data to analyze in the fourth quarter. Counties were ranked in each category, from lowest to highest, with the overall conclusion based on a combination of the three ranks. See below for the full methodology.

The findings come as the national housing market continues to withstand the effect of the virus pandemic while also remaining vulnerable to a fall. Home values shot up in 2020 by more than 10 percent in about three-quarters of the country, even as significant portions of the economy were shut down or idled, spiking unemployment. But amid a halting economic recovery, the ongoing market boom faces major questions connected to how long the pandemic will last, whether another recession looms and if a surge of buyers seen last year continues.

«Areas of the U.S. most at risk from damage connected to the Coronavirus pandemic spread out somewhat in the fourth quarter of 2020. But they still fell mainly along the East Coast, with significant pockets in certain areas, while other parts of the country seem to be less vulnerable,» said Todd Teta, chief product officer with ATTOM Data Solutions. «This report is not a sign that any area actually took a fall in the fourth quarter. It’s more a gauge of areas that may be more vulnerable if the market falters. In the coming months, much will depend on whether the country can halt the pandemic. We will continue to keep a close watch on home sales and prices to see how everything shakes out in 2021 and if changes hit different regions in different ways.»

Most vulnerable counties clustered around New York City, Philadelphia and Chicago 
Eighteen of the 50 U.S. counties most at-risk in the fourth quarter of 2020 from housing market troubles connected to the pandemic (from among the 499 counties with enough data to be included in the report) were in metropolitan statistical areas around New York, NY, Philadelphia, PA, and Chicago, IL.

They included eight in or near the New York City suburbs (Bergen, Essex, Ocean, Passaic and Sussex counties in New Jersey, along with Dutchess, Orange and Rockland counties in New York), and four around Philadelphia, PA (Burlington, Camden and Gloucester counties in New Jersey plus Delaware County, PA). The other six were in the Chicago, IL, suburbs (DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry and Will counties). The New York and Chicago metropolitan areas saw increases from the third quarter of 2020 in the numbers of counties in the top 50 list.

While seven of Connecticut’s eight counties made the top 50 list in the third quarter of 2020, just two did in the fourth quarter – Litchfield and Windham counties. The number of counties on the list in the Baltimore, MD, metro area also fell notably in the fourth quarter, from four to one (Carroll County) and dropped from four to two in the Washington, D.C, area (Charles County, MD, and Prince George’s County, MD).

The only western counties among the top 50 most at risk from problems connected to the Coronavirus outbreak in the fourth quarter of 2020 were Butte County (Chico), CA; El Dorado County, CA (outside Sacramento); Humboldt County (Eureka), CA; Madera County, CA (outside Fresno); San Bernardino County, CA; Shasta County (Redding), CA; and Santa Fe County, NM.

Louisiana also had four counties in the top 50 during the fourth quarter – Caddo Parish (Shreveport), Livingston Parish (outside Baton Rouge), Orleans Parish (New Orleans) and Tangipahoa Parish (north of New Orleans). Florida had another three – Bay County (Panama City) Charlotte County (outside Fort Myers) and Flagler County (outside Daytona Beach).

Higher levels of unaffordable housing, underwater mortgages and foreclosure activity in most-at-risk counties 
Major home ownership costs (mortgage payments, property taxes and insurance) consumed more than 30 percent of average local wages in 36 of the 50 counties that were most vulnerable to market problems connected to the virus pandemic in the fourth quarter of 2020. The highest percentages in those counties were in Rockland County (65 percent of average wages needed for major ownership costs); El Dorado County, CA, (outside Sacramento) (57.8 percent); Bergen County, NJ (outside New York City) (55.3 percent); Delaware County, PA (outside Philadelphia) (52 percent) and Beaufort County (Hilton Head), SC (51.7 percent). Nationwide, major expenses on the median-priced home typically consumed 29.6 percent of average wages.

At least 15 percent of mortgages were underwater in the third quarter of 2020 (the latest data available on owners owing more than their properties are worth) in 33 of the 50 most at-risk counties. Nationwide, 12.3 percent of mortgages fell into that category. Those with the highest underwater rates in those counties were Lowndes County (Valdosta), GA (36.8 percent of mortgages underwater); Hardin County, KY (outside Louisville) (32.8 percent); Cumberland County (Vineland), NJ (30.8 percent); Caddo Parish (Shreveport), LA (28.6 percent) and Atlantic County (Atlantic City), NJ (27.8 percent).

More than one in 2,500 residential properties faced a foreclosure action in the third quarter of 2020 (the latest available data) in 29 of the 50 most at-risk counties. Nationwide, one in 5,048 homes were in that position. (Foreclosure actions dropped about 80 percent last year amid a federal moratorium on banks taking back properties from homeowners behind on their mortgages during the virus pandemic.) Those with the highest rates in those counties were Hardin County, KY (outside Louisville) (one in 1,032 residential properties facing possible foreclosure); Onslow County (Jacksonville), NC (one in 1,090); Caddo Parish (Shreveport), LA (one in 1,361); Saint Clair County, IL (outside St. Louis, MO) (one in 1,409) and Livingston Parish, LA (outside Baton Rouge) (one in 1,562).

Counties least at-risk concentrated in Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Texas 
Eighteen of the 50 counties least vulnerable to pandemic-related problems from among the 499 included in the fourth-quarter report were in Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Texas. They were concentrated in the Denver, Boston, Minneapolis, Houston and Dallas metro areas. The largest of the 50 least at-risk counties were Harris County (Houston), TX; King County (Seattle), WA; Clark County (Las Vegas), NV; Tarrant County (Fort Worth), TX and Middlesex County, MA (outside Boston).

Others among the 50 least at-risk counties with a population of at least 500,000 included Hennepin County (Minneapolis), MN; Suffolk County (Boston), MA; Essex County, MA (outside Boston); Norfolk County, MA (outside Boston) and Denver County, CO.

Lower levels of unaffordable housing, underwater mortgages and foreclosure activity in less vulnerable counties 
Major home ownership costs (mortgage, property taxes and insurance) consumed less than 30 percent of average local wages in 33 of the 50 counties that were least at-risk from market problems connected to the virus pandemic in the fourth quarter of 2020. The lowest percentages in those counties were in Marion County (Indianapolis), IN (18.6 percent of average local wages required for major ownership costs); Benton County (Rogers), AR (19.6 percent); Potter County (Amarillo), TX (20.4 percent); Niagara County (Niagara Falls), NY (20.5 percent) and Macomb County, MI (outside Detroit) (20.6 percent).

More than 15 percent of mortgages were underwater in the third quarter of 2020 (with owners owing more than their properties are worth) in none of the 50 least at-risk counties. Those with the lowest rates in those counties were Chittenden County (Burlington), VT (3.5 percent); King County (Seattle), WA (4.8 percent); Washington County, OR (outside Portland) (4.8 percent); Marion County (Salem), OR (5.2 percent) and Boulder County, CO (5.2 percent).

More than one in 2,500 residential properties faced a foreclosure action in the third quarter of 2020 in none of the 50 least at-risk counties. Those with the lowest rates in those counties included Eau Claire County, WI (no residential properties facing possible foreclosure); Norfolk County, MA (outside Boston) (one in 277,275); Marion County (Salem) OR (one in 125,190); Clark County (Las Vegas), NV (one in 88,856); Suffolk County (Boston), MA (one in 83,310) and Middlesex County, MA (outside Boston) (one in 79,073).

Report methodology 
The ATTOM Data Solutions Special Coronavirus Market Impact Report is based on ATTOM’s third-quarter 2020 residential foreclosure and underwater property reports and fourth-quarter 2020 home affordability report. (Press releases for those reports show the methodology for each.) Counties with sufficient data to analyze were ranked based on the percentage of residential properties with a foreclosure filing during the third quarter of 2020, the percentage of properties with outstanding mortgage balances that exceeded estimated market values in the third quarter of 2020 and the percentage of average local wages need to afford the major expenses of owning a median-priced home in the fourth quarter of 2020. Ranks then were added up to develop a composite ranking across all three categories. Equal weight was given to each category. Counties with the lowest composite rank were considered most vulnerable to housing market problems. Those with the highest composite rank were considered least vulnerable.

Emerging from COVID: An Opportunity to Reinvent Credit for Latino-Owned Businesses

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Q4 2020 Latino Small Business Credit Survey edition is a review of 2020 highlighting credit trends relating to Latino-Owned Businesses (LOBs). Based on our report findings, Camino Financial offers policy…

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Q4 2020 Latino Small Business Credit Survey edition is a review of 2020 highlighting credit trends relating to Latino-Owned Businesses (LOBs). Based on our report findings, Camino Financial offers policy guidance for the new Biden-Harris administration to promote the financial inclusion of LOBs.

Camino Financial offers policy guidance for the Biden-Harris administration to promote the financial inclusion of LOBs.

The report shows the lack of PPP and other government relief programs reaching the Latino business community. Only 2.5% of LOBs without a pre-existing relationship with a lender received government relief, compared to 16.5% for those with a pre-existing lender relationship.

In addition, the report shows the emergence of Haves and Have-Nots within the LOB community. The survey shows that lenders are targeting larger businesses with longer operational history and higher credit scores. This asymmetric approach to lending creates barriers for LOBs that skew lower on their size and credit history, preventing them from obtaining capital.

  • In 2019, LOBs based in Low to Moderate-Income (LMI) areas were 10.6% smaller and generated $25.4K less than those based in non-LMI areas.
  • Whereas in 2020, LOBs based in LMI areas were 25.1% smaller and generated $64.7K less than those based in non-LMI areas.

Based on report findings, Camino Financial recommends the following: 

Define «micro businesses» and design loan programs around this large cohort: When LOBs apply and qualify for PPP or other government loans, they often do not receive the full amount requested, and must look to private lenders to bridge the difference.

  • In Q4 2020, more than 85% of LOBs earned less than $300k in annual revenue, roughly half the size relative to the national average.

Target relief in LMI areas: In order for lenders to gain confidence in lending to more sectors, the Biden administration must focus on recovery for businesses in LMI areas that are historically left out.

  • 87% of LOBs operate in low to moderate-income (LMI) areas.

Create simple onboarding and training programs: Offering the appropriate credit and educational experience will increase creditworthiness and decrease the negative bias effect against smaller LOBs.

NAGOYA, Japón, 20 de enero de 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Tajima Industries Co., Ltd. (con sede en Nagoya, Japón), un fabricante líder de máquinas de bordar que se esfuerza por la automatización del bordado, la gestión de la red de producción y la promoción de negocios de bordado inteligente, se enorgullece de anunciar el lanzamiento de nuevas máquinas de bordar el 22 de enero de 2021, como los nuevos modelos «TMEZ-KC Series», equipados con la función «i-TM» para automatizar el acabado del bordado.

Si bien la sociedad ha estado pasando por grandes progresiones tecnológicas como la digitalización en los últimos años, la industria de la fabricación de prendas de vestir ha llegado a hacer frente a problemas emergentes asociados con la escasez de mano de obra causada por el brote global de COVID-19. En tales circunstancias, la empresa está centrando su enfoque corporativo en la automatización del proceso de producción de bordado a máquina equipando a las máquinas con su tecnología patentada de IA «i-TM», diseñada para automatizar el acabado del bordado, como solución a la escasez de mano de obra de fabricación.

1. Tecnología de IA original de Tajima «i-TM»

«i-TM» significa «Gestión Inteligente del Hilo«. En el bordado de la máquina, los patrones se pueden coser en todas las direcciones diferentes y la longitud de la puntada puede variar incluso en un solo diseño, haciendo que el bordado a máquina sea uno de los tipos más difíciles de coser. La compañía ha algoritmizado con éxito los patrones de acabado de bordado adquiridos a través de muchos años de experiencia para producir «i-TM.» Esta tecnología de IA analiza la dirección de costura punto por punto y el grosor de la tela para calcular la cantidad adecuada de alimentación de hilo para la siguiente puntada y hace los ajustes adecuados a las puntadas para que el acabado del bordado que se considera «bueno» se pueda lograr de una manera estable.

2. Ventajas de «i-TM» en Fábricas de Bordado a Máquina

– Tiempo de costura de prueba más corto

Mientras que la mayoría de los operadores que utilizan máquinas de bordar convencionales realizan pruebas de costura para ajustar la tensión del hilo antes de la producción real, las máquinas instaladas en i-TM requieren mucho menos tiempo para la costura de prueba en el proceso preparatorio, lo que permite a los operadores utilizar el tiempo ahorrado para las actividades de producción. Los modelos i-TM son especialmente adecuados para bordar en productos prefabricados con niveles mixtos de grosor y elasticidad de la tela, como gorras, camisetas, parches, zapatos y calcetines.

– Reducción de defectos y pérdidas de fabricación

Las pérdidas más frecuentes observadas en las fábricas de bordado a máquina son los productos que fallan en la inspección de calidad debido a un acabado de bordado insuficiente. Los modelos i-TM ajustan automáticamente el acabado del bordado para lograr buenos resultados de forma estable, contribuyendo así a la reducción de las pérdidas de fabricación.

– Nuevos operadores fácilmente configurados para trabajar

Los operadores con habilidades basadas en la experiencia desempeñan un papel crucial en la práctica convencional del ajuste de la tensión del hilo superior a diferentes tipos de hilos. Con «i-TM», por otro lado, las tareas de los operadores se alivian ya que la tensión del hilo no necesita ser ajustada manualmente, ahorrando a los gerentes el tiempo para los operadores de formación.

– Hermoso acabado con varios tipos de hilos

«i-TM» incorpora las técnicas de costura que Tajima ha acumulado a lo largo de décadas y produce un hermoso acabado de bordado apretando el hilo firmemente para puntadas lineales, al tiempo que proporciona costura suave para puntadas de satén en zig-zag.

U.S. Mayors Celebrate President Biden’s Day One Focus on Rooting Out Systemic Racism and Supporting Underserved Communities

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — On his first day in office, President Joe Biden took executive action to advance a racial equity agenda that aligns with U.S. Conference of Mayors’ (USCM) priority initiatives of dismantling systemic racism and ensuring the human and civil rights of all Americans. Welcoming the executive orders signed by the president, USCM President and Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer issued the following statement:

«It’s a new day in America, and mayors across the country applaud President Biden for making good on his day-one promise to address the systemic and institutional racism that has for too long denied equal rights, access and opportunity to too many people. The global health pandemic has not only stolen the lives of our family and friends, but it has also disproportionately affected communities of color and has forced us to more quickly, more aggressively and more transformationally confront the realities of how deep the ills of racial inequity run in our government, our systems, and our collective communities.  

«In response to the pandemic, America’s mayors have marshaled our resources, our collective wisdom, our energy, and our compassion to create actionable plans to rebuild our country and we are heartened to now have the leadership necessary to begin dismantling inequitable systems and processes that have impeded pathways to opportunity and justice. President Biden’s actions today have the power to fundamentally transform and bring much-needed balance to all levels of government—in areas ranging from health care to criminal justice—for generations to come. Mayors are committed to this important work and will remain steadfast in our responsibility to root out racism, support underserved communities, and advance necessary change at the local level.»

U.S. Mayors Applaud President Biden’s Day One Action on Climate Change, Efforts to Advance Environmental Justice

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — In recognition of the four concurrent crises facing our nation, President Joe Biden took executive action today on issues including racial equity, immigration, the ongoing COVID pandemic and climate change. On the issue of climate change, the President has taken numerous actions consistent with longstanding U.S. Conference of Mayors’ (USCM) policy. Most notably, he rejoined the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, reestablishing America’s role in the global effort to combat climate change and revoked executive actions by the Trump Administration that threatened the nation’s public health and environment. In response to these Day One actions, USCM President and Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer issued the following statement:

«The rejection of science that has guided our nation’s posture regarding climate change over the last four years has left mayors and local leaders to pick up a discarded mantle of environmental leadership. In response, American mayors prioritized local investments in sustainable infrastructure, supported development of innovative technologies and redoubled efforts to maintain and expand national obligations under the Paris Agreement, despite a federal government that had abandoned its international role.

«America’s mayors welcome the Federal Government back to the climate change fight. We are grateful to have a federal partner who is willing to work with us to expand local climate solutions to protect our health and spur our economy. We applaud President Biden for elevating issues related to environmental justice, in recognition of the disparities felt by those in underserved communities, and we look forward to collaborating to create a new, healthier, cleaner and more prosperous America based on innovative and green solutions that have originated in cities across the nation.»
