U.S. Climate Action

WRI produces cutting-edge analysis of climate and energy issues to help decision makers in the United States achieve needed emissions reductions.

President Obama has committed the United States on the international stage to greenhouse gas emissions reductions of 17% below 2005 levels by 2020. WRI research has shown that these reductions may be achievable with ambitious action by states, federal agencies, and Congress. Achieving this goal could have numerous benefits, including increased energy security, competitive advantages for U.S. businesses, and clarity for investors.
