About Pathway To Paris
Pathway to Paris is a non-profit organization focused on turning the Paris Agreement into reality. It is an initiative in partnership with UNDP and 350.org that brings together musicians, artists, activists, academics, mayors, and innovators to help raise consciousness surrounding the urgency of climate action and offers solutions to turning the Paris agreement into action. In September 2017, Pathway to Paris announced a new initiative called 1000 Cities, inviting all cities of the world to transition to 100% renewables by 2040.
Pathway to Paris was founded in 2014 by Jesse Paris Smith and Rebecca Foon and began as an initiative of events to raise awareness of the urgent importance of establishing a legally binding global climate agreement.
