President Obama Unveils Much Anticipated Climate Change Plan

On June 25, in a much anticipated speech at Georgetown University, U.S. President Obama unveiled The President's Climate Action Plan, a comprehensive strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for the impacts of global warming. Frustrated by partisan gridlocks in Congress, Obama is using his executive powers to advance the policy landscape on climate change.

This blog post aims to highlight some of the salient aspects of the Plan. We will publish further posts on this topic as the Plan develops in the coming months.

The Plan rests on three key pillars: cutting carbon pollution, preparing the U.S. for the impacts of global warming and leading international efforts to combat climate change.
