US Policy

Our US Policy Program brings business and government leaders together to create progress towards a workable national climate policy and a robust global deal on climate change.  We do this in two main ways:  

Policy Research

Our research provides policymakers with key information on the economic opportunities associated with national and global climate policies.  Our reports are disseminated globally at the highest levels of government and featured in local, national and international press.
