How Should the Next President of the United States Address Climate Change?
CNT is pleased to announce the release of the Presidential Climate Action Plan (PCAP), a plan to help the next President of the United States take bold action on global warming within the first 100 days of the new administration. Developed by a broad group of leaders from around the nation, the PCAP is the most comprehensive and detailed plan for national climate action yet presented to the presidential candidates and the American people. It consists of more than 100 proposed policies and programs covering more than a dozen critical areas of endeavor. More broadly, PCAP identifies how the 44th President and the Congress can help America find its path to a 21st Century economy that achieves three critical objectives: security, opportunity and stewardship.
CNT was part of the group of experts that developed the plan over the past year. CNT’s research and expertise in transportation, land use, and climate change forms the basis for much of the plan’s transportation agenda. In addition, CNT President Scott Bernstein serves on the Steering Committee of the Presidential Climate Action Project, bringing CNT’s deep understanding of sustainable, measurable, place-based solutions with net economic benefits to this monumental project. We look forward to working with leaders and residents around the country in collaboration with the Presidential Climate Action Project to gain widespread support for this plan in coming months and to put this plan into action.
