What is ParisPact?
ParisPact is a platform that brings together people, businesses, and organizations from all walks of life, with diverse perspectives, political beliefs, cultures, and religions, to discuss and take action on climate change and sustainability. We recognize that not every individual, company, or organization agrees with every aspect of the Paris Agreement. However, we believe these topics are worthy of open dialogue, and we share a common goal: putting aside partisan politics and working together to ensure a safe, healthy planet for future generations.
What is the difference between ParisPact.org and ParisPact.com?

Can I still participate if I disagree with some aspects of climate policies?
Absolutely. ParisPact is built on the belief that climate action and sustainability are too important to be dismissed due to disagreement. We invite all perspectives to join the conversation, as long as the focus remains on constructive dialogue and a commitment to finding solutions that benefit both people and the planet.
Why is it important to set aside differences and work together?
The environmental challenges we face, from climate change to biodiversity loss, are too vast for any one group, ideology, or nation to tackle alone.

ParisPact is designed to bring people together, encouraging collaboration that spans boundaries for the greater good.
