From city halls to bridges, here?s how cities showed their support The Trump administration formally announced that it would withdraw the United States from the landmark Paris climate accord yesterday, prompting dozens of mayors to adopt the historic agreement themselves.
But the commitment from mayors isn?t the only way cities are showing solidarity with the Paris accord.
Buildings in the United States and in other countries lit up bright green on Thursday night. These structures are typically lit up at night and have in the past showed support for other causes?with red, white, and blue lights after the Paris attacks in 2015 and in rainbow colors after the nightclub shooting in Orlando.
Last night, the buildings glowed green.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo ordered both the One World Trade Center and the Kosciuszko Bridge lit up, and the facade of the New York City Hall was illuminated as well.
