In other words, a group of citizens, states and businesses who remain committed to the Paris agreement represent a bigger economy than any country in the world, outside the US and China.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should have a seat at the table and the ability to work with our peers in other nations. That is the aim of our pavilion.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2017\/11\/07\/african-campaigners-call-us-kicked-climate-talks\/\"><strong>Report:<\/strong>\u00a0African campaigners call for US to be kicked out of climate talks<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A spokesman for Bloomberg Philanthropies confirmed that &#8220;the table&#8221; meant\u00a0international negotiations and the reporting of climate action. Doing so would allow a US interlocutor to be held accountable for US progress in meeting its existing national contribution to the Paris climate deal, despite president Donald Trump&#8217;s intention to quit the pact.<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg&#8217;s Dan Firger told Climate Home: \u201cThere is a discussion between nation states ongoing about process of ratcheting up commitments under the Paris agreement. America&#8217;s Pledge is designed to drive this process, with the inclusion of all stakeholders in alignment with Fiji&#8217;s goals for grand coalition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The first report from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.americaspledgeonclimate.com\/\">America&#8217;s Pledge<\/a>\u00a0details the scope and range of actions taken by US cities, local authorities and business groups to cut greenhouse gases over the last decade. It also captures an &#8220;outpouring of public support&#8221; for continued efforts, in the absence of federal legislation and diplomacy.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0pledge\u00a0offered\u00a0a rallying point for Americans in Bonn who are deeply frustrated with President Trump&#8217;s repudiation of the Paris agreement and attempts to roll back flagship Obama-era climate legislation such as the clean power plan\u00a0and fuel efficiency standards.<\/p>\n<p>Following Bloomberg&#8217;s speech, Patricia Espinosa, the UN\u00a0Climate Change executive secretary, welcomed the coalition launch\u00a0 as a \u201cspecial moment\u201d, and said she would take it into the formal negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile this remains a country-driven process, we do require the participation of all people to meet our climate challenge,\u201d she said. \u201cThe climate change agenda and our sustainable development goals agenda cannot be delivered by governments alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2017\/11\/08\/us-governor-elections-inspire-hope-un-climate-talks\/\"><strong>Analysis:<\/strong>\u00a0US governor elections inspire hope during UN climate talks<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>California governor Jerry Brown also threw his weight behind the initiative.

Otherwise all you will get is noise \u2013 and this is good noise! But it doesn&#8217;t get the job done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On grassy parkland behind a conference centre fence, Californian protestors said that they were angered by five refineries that were being allowed to expand under Brown&#8217;s cap and trade scheme.<\/p>\n<p>One Brazilian indigenous leader, Chief Ninawa, who represents 13,000 people in Acre, claimed that California&#8217;s carbon market was giving credence to companies that were harming his community&#8217;s traditional forest use, and dividing indigenous leaders, with payoffs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe indigenous people are not polluters,\u201d he said. \u201cWe preserve the land. The ones who pollute are these global and national corporations. And these are the multinationals that are paying to offset their emissions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Climate Home News\u2019 reporting at Cop23 is supported in part by the European Climate
