Activities

U.S Climate Alliance

Between 2020 and 2022, the United Nations Foundation donated roughly $5.4 million in grants to 12 state government offices, listed as “UN strengthening,” as part of its “U.S. Climate Alliance “initiative to coordinate environmental policies with Democrat-led states. According to Fox News, the initiative was started following then-President Donald Trump withdrawing the United States from the U.N Paris Climate Accords in 2017. 2 3 4The donations include $451,000 to the state of Michigan through the University of Michigan, $1.2 million to the North Carolina governor’s office as well as the state departments of Commerce and Transportation, $853,000 to the Maine Governor and Energy Office, and $725,193 to New Mexico’s Environment Department as well as its Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department. 5 Other states that received grants from the initiative include Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Nevada, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisconsin. 6

According to watchdog group Government Accountability & Oversight (GAO), the grant donated to Michigan in 2021 was to help fund the hiring of two climate policy staff, each making $100,000 a year, to work within the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s Office of Climate and Energy (OCE) through 2025. The GAO alleged that the new hires were meant to help the OCE develop a plan to make the state carbon neutral by 2050. The U.S Climate Alliance’s website claims that member states must commit to “uniform net-zero” goals including reducing greenhouse gases by 50-52% by 2030 and promoting concepts of equity and environmental justice. 7
