Hundreds of businesses are banding together with cities and state leaders to support the goals of the Paris climate agreement.Apple (AAPL, Tech30), Amazon (AMZN, Tech30), Facebook (FB, Tech30), Google (GOOG), Gap (GPS), Adidas and many others signed on to an open letter Monday pledging to move forward with the United State’s earlier commitment to reducing carbon emissions.The move comes less than a week after President Trump announced plans to withdraw from the pact.”In the U.S., it is local and state governments, along with businesses, that are primarily responsible for the dramatic decrease in greenhouse gas emissions in recent years,” the coalition wrote on a dedicated website called We Are Still In.”Actions by each group will multiply and accelerate in the years ahead, no matter what policies Washington may adopt.”The effort was organized by more than a dozen groups, including the Center for American Progress and Mike Bloomberg’s Bloomberg Philanthropies.
