Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions: The Role of Voluntary Programs

It outlines four “critical elements of success” in developing a workable emissions-reduction program. It also weighs the benefits and barriers to implementing successful programs as well as the strengths and challenges of taking a voluntary approach.
