Who We Are
Our approach rests on the belief that because the U.S. is the world’s most influential and innovative economy, we are uniquely positioned to unlock the conditions for lowering global emissions.
Smart policy can accomplish that.
Policies that promote fair competition, remove barriers to growth, and reward cleaner production will meaningfully address climate change.
Get the policy framework right, and markets will do what they do best: rapidly develop, deploy, and commercialize next generation technologies to ensure a secure, prosperous, and low-emissions future.
How We Work
Research: The Council publishes trusted research and analysis to assess the environmental and economic impacts of policy ideas.
Convene: We partner with leaders across industry, government, and other organizations to develop and advance policy solutions.
Educate: We help lawmakers, the private sector, and the broader policy community evaluate approaches that strengthen U.S security, competitiveness, and affordability while lowering global emissions.
“Our belief is we need to solve climate change; that requires lowering global greenhouse gas emissions, and the most underutilized tools right now, globally, are policies that leverage market forces.”
