A coalition of U.S. cities, states, companies and universities said on Saturday that they still plan on meeting the commitments of the Paris climate accord, despite President Trump's announcement earlier this year that the U.S. would withdraw from the deal.

The group, called America's Pledge, said that many states, cities and private entities in the U.S. would continue to pursue efforts to reduce carbon emissions, including promoting renewable sources of energy.

The group consists of 20 U.S. states and more than 50 major cities.
