Activities

The CO2 Coalition was one of over 40 organizations to sign a letter dated May 8, 2017, to president Donald Trump thanking him for his campaign promise to withdraw from the Paris Agreement,[8] which Trump announced on June 1, 2017.

The CO2 Coalition has published twelve white papers, six 'climate issues in-depth', eight science policy briefs, coalition member testimonies, and coalition member publications.[9]

As of 2022, the group continues to speak publicly and issue press releases on issues relating to energy production, climate change, and advocating for hydrocarbon based fuels.[10][11]
