A Blueprint for Legislative Action

The Blueprint represents two years of work by U.S. Climate Action Partnership (USCAP) members building on its January 2007 Call for Action, a groundbreaking report containing principles and recommendations that urged “prompt enactment of national legislation in the United States to slow, stop and reverse the growth of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over the shortest time reasonably achievable.”

The Blueprint is a direct response to requests by federal policymakers for a detailed consensus that could help inform legislation. The USCAP believes the integrated package of policies it is recommending provides a pragmatic pathway to achieve aggressive environmental goals in a responsible and economically sustainable manner.
