Carbon Advantage
America makes goods with fewer emissions than most countries in the world. We call this a carbon advantage. By leveraging our carbon advantage we can boost the U.S. economy and lower global emissions.
Trade
A quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions are embedded in goods that are traded internationally. We need a global trade system that rewards cleaner production and encourages the exports of low-carbon technologies and fuels.
Measuring Emissions
Consumers, firms, and governments are demanding a clearer picture of the carbon emitted along the entire goods manufacturing supply chain. We need streamlined emissions measurement and reporting approaches to improve market certainty and support global decarbonization.
Carbon Dividends
The Baker-Shultz Carbon Dividends Plan is the most effective, efficient, and fair U.S. climate proposal. It would invest all Americans in a clean energy future, give U.S. businesses policy certainty, and hold other countries accountable.
